Maarku
This picture was taken after he found out that his father has
ended up in a camp in Jordan. It may be weeks or months until
Maarku and his father can be reunited. 

While walking I met a boy today named Maarku who said he was 17, but that he couldn’t remember anything from when he was 14… nothing on from when the attacks started. I asked daddy about it, and he said it was selective memory. I also asked some of the adults that we were walking with us what daddy meant by this term, and they said that it is when we modify memories to suit our reality. I guess the boy was unable to cope with his memories of the bombings, so his mind chose not to remember them at all. I also found this link, which helped me understand this phenomenon a little bit better Selective Memory & Repression. I hope I can feel like the Maarku, so I can forget…
