More than 300 Syrian young men sank during
their attempt to illegally migrate to the coasts of Europe across the Mediterranean Sea as the voyage by sea to illegally reach Europe costs between $ 2,000 to $ 6,000 per person).
One of them seemed to realize that the boat
was going to sink and he despaired of reaching shore safely, so he wrote a
letter to his mother and put it in his pocket. When maritime police found his
body, they found the letter inside a plastic bag in his pocket. The letter
included the following message:
"Mom, I'm sorry that the ship sank and I
couldn't reach Europe . I also won't be able to send you the sums I owe to pay the
cost of the journey. Mom, don't feel sad
if my body is not found, it will be useless; rather, it will cost you charges
of transporting, shipping, burial and funeral.
I'm sorry, Mom that war broke out and I had to
travel as many other people though I have no huge dreams as others as you
know; All my dreams are as big as your
colon medicine pack and repairing your teeth price.
I'm sorry, dear
mother, that I built a house of illusion for you; a nice wooden cottage like
that we used to watch in movies, a poor cottage away from explosive barrels,
away from sectarianism and ethnicity and neighbors' rumors about us.
Sorry, Bro. I won't sent you $ 50 I promised to
send monthly to entertain yourself before graduation.
Sorry, Sis. I won't send you the modern phone
provided with Wi-Fi like your rich friend.
Sorry, my lovely home. I won't hang my coat behing
your door.
I'm sorry divers and researchers for the missed
people, I do not know the name of the sea where I sank.
Be at ease, asylum officals in Europe , I won't be a burden on you.
Thanks, Sea that is receiving us without a visa or
a passport. Thanks, fish that will share my flesh without asking about my
religion, race or political affiliation.
Thanks, news channels that will broadcast the news
of our death for five minutes, every hours for two days.
Thank you all for feeling sorry when you hear the
story of our death.
I'm sorry that I sank.
