To Barbara and Jenna Bush,
Every house is magical for a child, irrespective of the fact if it is build of mud, stones, glass, tin or leaves off a tree. And, childhood is a magical time where fathers are Giants and mothers are fairies. Some children grow up to cherish their childhood memories, and pass on their stories to their young ones while others are not so lucky. When bombs destroy their homes, and kill their parents and leave them in destitution and pain, they learn to fetch for them at a very early stage; the faces of their giants and fairies fade away quickly and they become bitter and angry as they grow up. They do not share any good memories of their past with their offspring. The only memories they have is of desolation, despair, misery, pain and heartaches. When the leaders of the world act irresponsibly, unrest is the induced, wars are broken out and children become the real losers in this course of action. Your letter to Malia and Sasha is sweet, poignant and full of love and fondness towards your father; I just hope and pray that all the children of the world can share these feelings with two very sweet and happy girls in the White House.
It will be nice to see that smile on every child's face.
