Hello, Sara here. Today is the 19th anniversary of 9/11 attacks, a solemn day for much of the world. It makes us think about how we process grief? How does a child process the loss of a loved one?
Here is a heart melting poem by 6 year old Alisa Mary Pacheco from Mumbai, dedicated to the memory of her friend Abigail, who passed away this year.
Alisa is a student of Bai Avabai Framji Petit Girls High School, Mumbai
Where are you, Abigail? Poem
Where will you be when you die?
Abby I miss you,
You miss me, up there all alone,
I am also alone.
I miss all the fun we both had.
I’ll never ever get to see you again.
We are both apart!
I don’t know when we will be together again.
I just sit at the window dreaming about you,
We could have so much fun,
Only if you didn’t die.
(Dedicated to Ms. Abigail D’souza, Alisa’s close friend who passed away this year due to brain aneurysm at the young age of 27 years.Alisa was very upset in losing her very dear friend Abigail In May this year and this is her first piece of work. She took 10 to 12 minutes to write this.)
