What a beautiful photograph. It's sad that nothing has changed... I hope they have somehow lived a long and happy life together.

We might be getting bombed every week but this picture was taken in 1989, a period of civil war so brutal it is itself referred to as a civil war (there was a lull in the previous years).

Houses are not covered in sandbags today. This photo always gets passed around and it’s lost all sentimentality for me. I don’t want us to only be known as permanent victims of war.

I have had the pleasure of knowing a few Lebanese people who have made lives here in Australia. Every one has been a wonderful person. I also want the Lebanese to be known for everything they are outside of war.
