Freedom

Bogdana Ganeva

 

I would like to write about Freedom, because this word has a special meaning for me and my life. I have lived in Bulgaria fifty years under communist power. My father a King's officer, was killed when I was 7 years old. At this moment my childhood finished. I had no freedom to play as a child, to have friends, to study and work normally, to live as a human being, All the time I had to pay for something I had never done. It is very difficult to explain how one may feel under communist abuse.

My father was killed when he tried to escape to the USA. His dream was to live in freedom with his family. Now the situation in Bulgaria is changed. My father's dream has come true. My country is free. My daughter's family and mine live here, where freedom is a right for everybody.

Let us really appreciate the value of freedom, which is the essence of life and let all nations over the world live in peace and freedom.
