There was Bean soup rich with Mutton and potatoes that night Gezina set looking at her father across the stewed dried potatoes and dumpling across the flower pattern plate of steaming meat and roast potatoes her eyes went slowly from one to another of her brothers and sisters sitting around the table and if the war lasts a long time she wants to ask if we won't sit here around this two in the limplight again for a long time
, but she held her tongue. Instead, she savored the warmth of the fire, the comforting smells of the meal, and the sounds of her family's laughter and chatter.
As they all dug into their meal, Gezina couldn't help but feel grateful for these simple moments of togetherness. She knew that the war raging outside their small village could have easily torn them apart, but here they were, enjoying a warm meal and each other's company.
Her father caught her eye and smiled, a silent understanding passing between them. Gezina knew that he was proud of her strength and resilience during these difficult times. And as she looked around at her siblings, she knew that they would get through this war together, no matter how long it lasted.
In that moment, surrounded by her loved ones, Gezina felt a sudden surge of hope and determination. They may be facing uncertain times, but as long as they had each other, they would be able to weather any storm that came their way. And as they finished their meal and settled in for the night, Gezina silently vowed to cherish these moments of peace and unity for as long as they lasted.
