Peace at Last!

Finally! The war has ended! After over a year of shellings the war is over! I can finally go out and see my friends, go to school, see grandma and grandpa, and go out with mom and dad. I'm so excited! Nobody really knows what goes on in war until they live it. My house is now destroyed, my friends are far away from me, and some of my family members are gone, some forever, some just for a little bit. It was scary to see the post office burn down, and every time I heard the shellings, my stomach sank. Didn't they do enough by ruining half of our town? Tearing apart family after family? I feel so bad for the families and friends that lost loved ones and their homes. It must be so sad. I was lucky. Most of my family and friends are still here. Never again do I want to have to live through another war. It was scary, hearing the shellings and not knowing when I would be able to come out of the cellar or if I would ever be able to come out of the cellar. I hope that Sarajevo never has to go through war again.
