An Open Letter to Relatives of Workers in Conflict Zones

Source: A Life Overseas

Dear parent or sibling of a loved one living in a conflict zone,

I see you. Oh how I see you. I see you grabbing your phone before you are even out of bed to see what happened overnight in the Middle East and find reassurances that your family there is okay. I see you wondering why they haven’t gotten on an airplane and come back “home” to safety. I see you texting them, asking them several times a week (several times a day maybe?) “How are you? How are the kids? What do you need?”

Read more. Not related to such a worker, but know one? Check on them. Let them know they are not forgotten.
