It’s hard to keep smiling, going on with our daily life, posting on socials like nothing has happened while not to far from home there is a war.

I’m deeply horrified in what is happening right now in the east of Europe and there is little we can do as citizens to support this cause and the people involved.

I wish there was a button to turn OFF this nightmare…I still can’t believe it’s happening.

Prayers and support to the Ukrainians and all the innocents and victims…we’re with you at least with our heart, thoughts and prayers ❤️
