This book is about a life I have lived as a refugee-a painful yet joyful life.
It's about my parents' struggle in exile, their struggle to live and stay alive. It's about the savage killings of Tutsis in 1959 and the 1994 Genocide against Tutsi, but it's also about the triumphs that we endured as a family.
It's a book about my mother and her love, hope, faith, and forgiveness.
It's a testament to the resilience of a refugee child and a family going through so much yet always remaining hopeful.
It's a book about a stranger's patience, empathy, and generosity and about the gift of life and what it has taught me-endurance, courage, persistence, and a belief in my dreams as they have become big dreams. It is a book about my wounds and scars and how they remind me of a future yet unknown.
Over the years, I have walked through my share of thorny, muddy lands. Blades of grass have cut my feet, and my tender heels have been drilled into by nasty critters. I've faced more than my portion of cruel and evil-spirited human intent on breaking me down. To forgive all that tried its best to cut me down, chew me up, and spit me out, I've learned to forgive.
For me, forgiveness has become the most unique and beautiful part of me as my learned compassion always reminds me of how my past has influenced me to embrace my future. To become entangled in the negative of the past would have only slowed me down and left me bitter. I do not want nor do I need either. For I am a warrior who will charge forward and leave my mark on this land we call home.
I will not tire, tarry, nor will I falter. Nothing negative will slow me down.
I embrace my constant search for love and hope and keep my faith close while I continue to forgive a noisy and thorny world.
In the end, I chose the light of day rather than the darkness of night. Love, hope, faith, and forgiveness are the paths of virtue I choose to walk.
