Mahmoud and Namne Shakra - In memoriam

A big round face with smiling eyes and a laughing mouth, almost like a "smiley", that's how i remember my neighbor.
"Remember", the word doesn't fit somehow, i find it difficult to talk of them in the past tense.
Mahmoud and his wife were killed in a car accident last night. They have young kids.

There were many deadly traffic accidents this weekend. Each of the victims leaving a shattered family. But somehow, when you know the people, it becomes very personal.

Each time i saw Mahmoud i smiled, automatically. Smiley.
A car accident, what a waste.
