“I pray, I don’t know what to think or say, hardship, disappointment, getting to see the real faces of people. Whether night or day, I don’t live like I should…”

Arbnesha Kelmendi Draga, a language teacher and a published poet from Pejë/Peć in Kosovo, wrote these words two days before going into surgery for cervical cancer.
