I think about my father asking me to just let him die in #Sudan , rather than bcm a refugee as he nears 90. How he had the means + mobility to leave when so many of our elders don't...how it was my 3 year old who convinced him to leave with us or rather how he...(1/2)

how he made the heart-breaking decision to protect me from having to choose btw him and my child...i think about all the elders who are facing this reality...may we live to see a world where those in the sunset of their lives don't have to carry and endure this.

@minlayla77 He love the Land and nothing will change that for him. Sudanese elders enriched themselves from the spirit of the ancestors that they live in them. My mom just made it after serval stops and seven months of looking for way to go black, I pray for their wishes to come true.

To clarify, my father left, but that decision to leave has been painful bcs he left his sisters behind who will not and cannot leave…

@minlayla77 I’m so sorry. I can’t imagine the pain of leaving an aging parent behind.
