We are on our own

I’m early to work because the roads are mostly empty. That’s not because of an extended holiday season. No, that finished last week. People are trying to stay home because of the Easter Sunday Attacks—they are uncertain where to go from here.

As I type these words away, I’m merely walking distance from Mahawela Gardens, where one gruesome episode of Sunday’s events unfolded. I also hear stories in hushed murmur about colleagues who have lost family members. I think back to the Sunday as it unfolded. I remember holding my baby tightly in my arms while my mind kept repeatedly asking for his forgiveness for the world we have created for his generation.
