Dangerous Times

"My Iranian friend Farideh has left for a week in Vancouver with her children and then she and her youngest son are going to Iran for a month. I admit I feel a great deal of concern over her trip. With the current situation in the middle east and Iran's assertion that they will support Lebanon and Syria if it is attacked, I wonder where this situation will end and how many innocent people on both sides will be hurt. I hope that my friend will have a great visit and come back to Canada with only happy memories. I am not sure though, that that is what will happen." I whisper.
