Simply put, a big drop in my heart and gut regarding the article on a 110 year old mother caring for her 80 year old daughter! The drop, is the complete saddness that overwhelmed my whole being. The saddness for them which is also the representation of all the human beings in Yemen in the same position. It is a hard awareness to swallow. The first response that consumed me was, how can I, just one person, even help out. And can that one person become a ripple effect like a pebble thrown in the waters causing others to reach out with compassion and empathy as though it were them in that same situation.
