A prayer for my mum

In the Jewish museum in Berlin there is a tree on which visitors can hang a wish in the form of a card. When we visited early on a Sunday, there were already a number of cards in the tree. I read the messages, which are mostly beautifully written wishes that the holocaust would not be repeated in any form or that racism would have no place among us.

But there was one message written by a young boy. In it he writes a prayer that his mother may be healed from the terrible headaches from which she suffers so often.

And then we think the kids do not notice... or care....
