“This was my great grandmother that I never met. I still dont understand why but I am okay with what has happened to her. It was her path, and we all must take a path. One thing that I am happy about is the fact that my great grand mother believed in something, wheter it was right or wrong, and that makes me proud. ” - Kamil
