"If I must die you must live to tell my story to sell my things to buy a piece of cloth and some strings, so that a child somewhere in #Gaza while looking heaven in the eye awaiting his dad sees the kite flying up above, and thinks for a moment an angel is there bringing back love." - Refaat Alareer
