"Zlatni Ljiljan"

'Zlatni Ljiljan' or 'Golden Lily' is what my father would sign at the end of his letters during the war. The golden lily was a symbol for Bosnia and is imbedded within our very being. During the war, we were each sent a letter addressed to us from my dad. These letters contain some of the most beautiful and painful words I have ever read. I often wonder what my dad would say to his children and grandchildren if he was still alive. I read through these poignant letters and thought I would write a love letter to my sister, brother, nieces and nephew. With my father's handwriting, undying love and longing for us all at the very heart of each message.
