Introducing Communities on Tumblr
Communities are public and private spaces you can create on Tumblr—for you, your people, and the things you love. Frogs! Daleks! K-pop! The possibilities are endless.
I’m Zeina, and today I turn twelve years old. I was supposed to celebrate like I used to in past years…
My 12th Birthday… No Cake, No Gifts, No Laughter
My dad would always prepare little surprises for me—delicious cake, a gift, maybe a new toy.I was the spoiled child of the house, and my joy meant the world to my family.
But this year is different.
This year, there’s No celebration. No cake, No gift, not even a candle to blow out. This year, there is war… famine… and fear that steals sleep from our eyes. I’m not crying over a cake or a toy—I'm crying over something much more important… "My father".
The man who always held me tightly is now at risk just by stepping outside to get us food. We fear he won’t return—only a body wrapped in a shroud.
We will not allow him to walk into death traps. We love him, and we want him to stay alive. We simply cannot bear to lose more.
