Day 7 - Within all the photos, I saw this note. It reads: Kambanda and Family, It's very sad to see your pictures (you and our cousins). Every single day I ask myself, why don't [I] have cousins and this makes me think I actually hallucinate about what would have happened if you were alive. But today, I work really hard so that I can accomplish many things. I did not know your dreams and passion but in those very many things I do, [I] am sure there is one that was your dream. We will keep remembering you. Rest in peace. Your niece, Hellen.
