A ROSE FOR THE VICTIMS

                                                                               To Yolanda A.L. and her two sons.

***************************************************
Hace justo 10 días aparecía una entrada en este blog en contra del maltrato.
Hoy, desafortunadamente, volvemos de nuevo con el mismo tema de la violencia doméstica, llenos de rabia e impotencia, con un nuevo caso que nos salpica de cerca.
Una mujer que conozco, Yolanda A.L., nueva víctima en nuestra pequeña ciudad de Ceuta, se recupera estos días en el hospital, fuera ya de todo peligro.

Le dedicamos esta rosa y esta canción,

con todo nuestro cariño y apoyo,

en estos días especialmente difíciles.
