It's been three years since the Beirut port blast killed more than 200 people, injured several thousand, and caused damages that are still visible to date.

How could they not be?

Last year, on November 22, while heading to the airport, I felt the urge to write. Check my rant here.
I remember having mixed feelings: on the one hand, I was happy to go away from the organized chaos to take a breath of refreshing air, all the while wanting to celebrate Independence day in my country of birth...
This year felt totally different. And somehow I couldn't write about it. It was another event that triggered me. Read on to find out more :)
