A sad Monday morning 

14/10/2012

Sunday morning, after we finished preparing for the trip, we had another and most important step left,
which is to say goodbye to family and friends.
At the beginning we said goodbye to our neighbors and friends in our neighborhood.
Then we went to the house where I lived the beginning of my childhood.
It is the house where my grandmother lives with my aunt.
I was very attached to them as I used to spend a lot of time in their house and my relationship
with my aunt especially was very strong so it was one of the hardest things to say goodbye to them.
The whole family gathered that day at the grandmother's house.
We and my uncle's family and my aunt's family sat together and ate dinner together and slept the last night in Syria in their house.

15/10/2012
Monday morning came.
The morning of the separation of my homeland, which I can not remember much of now,
but I know deep in my heart that I love it, as it is not its fault for what happened, but it was so beautiful
that many wanted  to destroy it.
And the separation of my family, which passed 10 years without their presence with me on birthdays ,
holidays and occasions,which lost its taste and sweetness without their presence.
10 years and I ask myself why all this happened?
I still can't answer.
But I thank God for the presence of my mother, father, brother and sister  with me,
as there are many young Syrians who traveled alone and were deprived even of their families.
I remember my sadness that morning when I was never excited to travel but wanted to stay
I used to look at my aunt's tears as she brushes my hair before I go and calm her down
and tell her she'll do it again another day,but she feels like I'll never come back, unlike I feel for sure one day.
Grandma's trembling hand while hugging me.
And I  looked at the features of my father and mother who sacrifice everything they have
and everything they have established to take us to a safe and better place for us.
How did they feel knowing that they had to start from scratch somewhere else,
far from all their friends and loved ones?

 

و في صباح يوم الاحد وبعد انتهائنا من التحضير للسفر تبقت لدينا اخر واهم خطوة
الا و هي توديع الاهل والاصدقاء
قمنا بالبداية بتوديع جيراننا واصدقاءنا في الحي الذي نسكن فيه
ثم ذهبنا الى المنزل الذي عشت فيه بداية طفولتي
وهو المنزل الذي تعيش فيه جدتي مع عمتي
كنت متعلقة جدا بهما حيث كنت اقضي الكثير من الوقت في منزلهم وكانت علاقتي بعمتي خصوصا قوية للغاية لذلك كانت من اصعب الاشياء توديعهم
اجتمعت العائلة جميعها في ئلك اليوم في منزل الجدة نحن وعائلة عمي وعائلة عمتي جلسنا مع بعضنا و تناولنا العشاء معا و نمنا اخر ليلة في سوريا في منزلهم
و اتى صباح الاثنين
صباح فراق وطني الذي لا استطيع تذكر الكثير منه الان ولكن اعلم باعماق قلبي اني احبه فهو لا ذنب له بما حدث بل كان جميل للغاية حتى سعى الكثيرون لتخريبه
وفراق عائلتي التي مرت 10 اعوام دون وجودهم معي في الاعياد والمناسبات والتي فقدت طعمها وحلاوتها دون وجودهم
10 اعوام وانا اسأل نفسي لماذا حدث كل ذلك؟ ولا زلت لا استطيع الاجابة !
ولكن احمد الله على وجود امي و ابي واخوتي معي حيث هناك الكثير من الشباب والشابات السوريين الذين سافروا لوحدهم و تم حرمانهم حتى من اهلهم
اذكر حزني في ذلك الصباح حيث لم اكن متحمسة ابدا للسفر بل رغبت في البقاء
كنت انظر الى دموع عمتي وهي تصفف شعري قبل ذهابي واهدئها واقول لها انها سوف تصففه مرة اخرى في يوم اخر ولكنها كانت تشعر اني لن اعود ابدا عكس شعوري المتأكد من العودة في يوم ما
ويد جدتي المرتجفة اثناء معانقتها لي
وانظر الى ملامح ابي و امي اللذان يقومان بالتضحية بكل ما يملكونه وكل ما قاموا بتأسيسه ليأخذونا الى مكان امن وافضل لنا
كيف كان شعورهما وهما يعلمان انهما عليهما البدء من الصفر في مكان اخر بعيد عن كل اصدقائهم واحبائهم؟

 

Lunedì mattina triste


14/10/2012
Domenica mattina, conclusi i preparativi per il viaggio, mancava un altro e più importante passaggio,
congedarsi da famiglia e amici.
Prima abbiamo salutato i nostri vicini e gli amici del quartiere.

Poi siamo andati nel luogo in cui ho passato l’infanzia, la casa dove vivono mia nonna e mia zia.

Ero molto legata a loro, ho passato così tanto tempo lì, in particolare con mia zia il rapporto era molto forte,
dire loro addio è stata una delle cose più dure.
Quel giorno vide l'intera famiglia riunita a casa della nonna.
Noi, la famiglia di mio zio e quella di mia zia, tutti seduti insieme, abbiamo cenato e passato l'ultima notte in Siria in quella casa.

Poi lunedì mattina è arrivato.



15/10/2012
La mattina della separazione dalla mia patria.

Ora non ricordo molto, ma so nel profondo del mio cuore che la amo, non è colpa sua per ciò che è successo,
ma era così bella che hanno voluto distruggerla.
E la separazione dalla mia famiglia, 10 anni di assenza
ai miei compleanni, este e momenti che nella mancanza hanno perso gusto e dolcezza.

10 anni, mi chiedo perché è successo tutto questo.
Non posso ancora rispondere.

Ma ringrazio Dio per la presenza di mia madre, mio padre, mio fratello e mia sorella,
così tanti giovani siriani hanno viaggiato da soli, privati anche delle loro famiglie.

Ricordo la mia tristezza quella mattina, per nulla entusiasta di viaggiare, avrei voluto restare.

Osservo le lacrime di mia zia mentre mi spazzola i capelli prima che io parta, cerco di calmarla dicendole 
che lo farà di nuovo un giorno, ma lei sente che non tornerò mai più, mentre io sono sicura di si, un giorno.

La mano tremante della nonna mentre mi abbraccia.
Vedo i tratti di mio padre e mia madre,
pronti a sacrificare tutto ciò che hanno e hanno costruito,per portarci in un posto migliore, sicuro per noi.

Come si sono sentiti sapendo che dovevano ricominciare da zero da qualche altra parte, lontano da tutti i loro amici e cari?
