Dear Aylan, You did not deserve to drown in the coldness of water and the coldness human indifference You were not a Migrant. You were not a Refugee. You were a 3 year old little boy wanting to play safely, away from the threats of violence and war. In Heaven, you will be nursed by those who held you, by those who kissed you and by those who risked everything in the hope of you reaching the shores of safety. Rest in peace Aylan Kurdi. May God forgive us for failing you.
