Too Many Bridges MAY GOD BLESS THE UKRAINIAN PEOPLE Text by Nick R. Davies by J.Rivas published on 2022-03-29T22:24:49Z My sincerest gratitude to Nick R. Davies for his amazing skills as a writer and novelist. We left late in the night with all the other kids from the street. It felt exciting and strange. Strange because Mama was scared and Tato wasn't with us. Mama said he needed to stay to make us safe like all the other fathers. She kept holding me into her and rubbing my back. The bus was cold and noisy, some of the children crying, some singing and shouting. We left Brovary in the pitch dark and once the bus quietened a little I looked out of the window for cars and lights, but there were few. I counted bridges. I remember five but I was sleepy and couldn't be sure. Our journey seemed to last forever. Each time we stopped I would ask Mama whether we were close, but I don't think she knew. She was checking her phone a lot, but I think Tato must have been busy. I talked to my doll when Mama wouldn't talk to me anymore. We arrived in Lublin in the early morning. It was snowing and there was a big crowd of people. They gave us food and blankets. I couldn't understand what they were saying. I had a hot chocolate and cake before we were taken to a hotel. When I heard Mama on the phone and then crying, I was frightened. She went to cry on her own in the bathroom and I was sad I couldn't help. I left the hotel and walked for miles. I found a bridge. There were only four more to find before I could get back to Tato. I started calling for him. Over and over and over..with each step into the dark cold night. When Mama and her friends found me, I was still calling for Tato. I told Mama there were only four more bridges. No dear, she said, crying and shaking..there were many more you didn't see..there are too many bridges to see Tato. Too many bridges now and for a long time.
