It is Father's Day today and I can only think of one father... a man whose daughter was shot and killed yesterday in the aftermath of the election riots in Iran. Her name has been unofficially confirmed as Neda and today I mustered up the courage to watch the video of her death. Its the least I can do as I sit here and pour over CNN.com articles. The people there are living it and I am in a hotel on vacation -- life is not fair. My prayer today is for her father, who she was protesting with when the government sponsored "forces" shot her in the heart. I posted the video, but it is VERY graphic so please be aware of this if you choose to view it. I pray that she does not die in vain and that we will continue to make ourselves aware of what is happening overseas. I pray that people are moved for Iran and its citizens - our sisters and brothers in another country that is in turmoil. God be with them and be with Neda's father today.
