The... here to our dear brother was very sad and we all cried so much, our tears could have filled a lake. But we have to keep hoping, maybe things will still be alright. Dear Sala, if it is possible that Rosa's brother should be in the room of a friend of Blima's sister, H.K., I, my mother and everybody would be truly happy.
