Since I saw this photo this morning, I can't stop thinking about all the people suffering right now trying to get to another country.
Find it particularly sad to see the little kids freezing and hungry.
And all this because of some mean men who want to bring war, it is so obvious.
Why are people so mean? Why? Why?

Unfortunately there will always be mean people who wage war. It's a sad, sad situation. We are so blessed to live where we do.

Seeing this picture is heart-breaking, reading this story is sad, knowing someone who came from this country and is a thriving Canadian now is a blessing.
We have a family member who left Poland, ended up in a refugee camp for a year and then their family had to lie to the government (something that still bothers them to this very day) to get on a plane and come to Canada.
When we see groups of immigrants speaking in their native language and practicing many things that they did before coming to our country, we have to look deeper and realize that they were forced out of their country due to communism. These people are very resilient and we have to have hope that more will be welcomed into Canada for a better life.

It is distressing. I can see why this is upsetting Marlina.

I don’t see this as mean I see it as national security. Poland doesn’t have open borders and it is not a rich country. The migrants chose to come , bad choice obviously. There are a lot of bad counties in the world that is for sure but Belarus is at fault in this case. If they cross the border then what? Do any of them speak polish? It’s a humanitarian crisis.

I have a really hard time seeing pictures like this. That's why I don't watch too much news on tv. The sadness and frustration bother me so much it affects my day or a good night's sleep.
