Portaui lacrimis madidus te, nostra catella, quod feci lustris laetior ante tribus. Ergo mihi, Patrice, iam non dabis oscula mille nec poteris collo grata cubare meo. Tristis marmorea posui te sede merentem et iunxi semper Manibus ipse meis, Moribus argutis hominem simulare paratam, perdidimus quales, hei mihi, delicias. Tu, dulcis Patrice, nostras attingere mensas consueras, gremio poscere blanda cibos, lambere tu calicem lingua rapiente solebas quem tibi saepe meae sustinuere manus, accipere et lassum cauda gaudente frequenter.

I have carried you, our little dog, drenched in tears, as I did in happier times fifteen years ago. So now, Patrice, you will no longer give me a thousand kisses, nor lie lovingly against my neck. With sorrow I have placed you, deserving, in a marble seat, and I have joined you forever with my own shades, fitted by your clever ways to mimic a human. We have lost such delights—alas to me! You, sweet Patrice, were accustomed to come to our table, to beg charmingly for food upon my lap; you used to lick the cup greedily with your tongue, which my hands often held for you, frequently meeting your weary master with a joyful wagging tail.

Epitaph for Patrice (beloved dog) from Salernum, Campania

When a global actor like Mark Ruffalo says, "Death in the desert or at home is the only option for the people of Gaza," it's a painful acknowledgment of the reality of genocide.

I am Sami, from the heart of Gaza. This is what we are facing right now: genocide, starvation, and death. I'm speaking to you at this very moment, and at any second, we could be bombed. I ask every person who believes in humanity and has a family like ours to donate, so we can stay alive. Because the truth is: we could die at any moment.

Imagine what's happening to my family is happening to yours. What would you do to save them?

Share, donate, save children and patients... do not hesitate. Every second makes a difference.
