I see the fire in you as you dance on stage with your sisters.\u00a0Your faces suggest pain, but your dance reflects your covert passion. I sit next to the drunken man during the performance hoping you will never encounter his wrath. I hope the man you are married off to will love you for your confidence and spark. I hope your sprit is not lost in the patriarchal cloud above you. I can only hope and wish that you will live a life of joy and love. But once I leave I may never know if you never went to school again. Or if you were sent to work at home the rest of your life. I may never know if you explore the rest of your country outside your village. I may never know if you dance on stage for your family and friends again. You have taught me a love I have never seen before and I hope it stays in your hearts.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/depts.washington.edu\/chidint\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/DearGirls.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-987\" src=\"http:\/\/depts.washington.edu\/chidint\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/DearGirls.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" srcset=\"https:\/\/depts.washington.edu\/chidint\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/DearGirls.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/depts.washington.edu\/chidint\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/DearGirls-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/depts.washington.edu\/chidint\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/DearGirls-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/depts.washington.edu\/chidint\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/DearGirls-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You will hold a special place in my heart.
