I am very appreciative to hear your words of encouragement Neptune and Neon. Although, it has been tough for us leaving Syria, we are actually one of the more fortunate ones, because many Syrians, especially those under fire or extreme danger, do not have the chance to leave or end up as refugees if they are lucky enough to flee to another bordering country. My family was more fortunate, because we were in the safer part of Damascus, where we had the chance to store and then take our essential possessions to America.

But still, I am heartbroken to see how many of the less fortunate civilians are suffering, especially those in the besieged cities and towns across Syria. May God have mercy on those poor people who are suffering the most. The thing I wish for the most is an end to the violence.
