Can you imagine giving up everything for something that might not even be worth it?
Can you imagine not knowing whether you would be alive in the next moment?
I can.
Because I've had something that I would give everything for.
I have something that I would sacrifice everything for.
My home, my way of living, my family, even my own life.
I know what it is like to have something that I would give anything for.
And I will.
Because it isn't just a story. It's a very real possibility for me and for so many others.
And even today, there are many who are dying for that thing that means everything to them.
Because to them, and to me, nothing else matters as much as that one thing. That purpose.
So tonight, when I look out at the stars, I remember.
I remember those who came before me and those who will come after.
And I pray I will be brave enough to stand with them. That I will be strong enough to never give up.
Because this, this is all that matters.
