Finding Redemption

How is this possible?

The redemption I’m getting. After living a past of misleading love, trust, and deceit.

There is a way to be good again.

A way…

to be good…

again.

But how? After all that’s been done.

Well, we had a childhood where other boys could envy us.

Me and him. Together a team that would show the world that there’s no monster in the lake.

We are -- were -- Amir and Hassan.

The Sultans of kabul.

The world’s greatest explorers and adventurers.

The greatest kite-fighters around.

Then that day…

O God that one day. How it all changed forever.

Four boys… really five.

And a blue kite.

The dark blood seeping into white snow.

Evil seeping into virtuous good.

Oh how everything changed.

I became a thief

to his life.

So how is this possible?

After all those years of being apart.

And he’s my brother!?

A brother that has a son?!

O God this life of mine.

How I was a thief to his life, pride, trust, and freedom.

O God is there really redemption for me? After all I’ve done?

They say blood is a powerful thing.

Oh how it’s a powerful thing!

From watching the unforgettable to the reality of brotherhood.

It is a powerful thing.

There is redemption.

Saving the life of my nephew from a thief.

The thief that took my brother’s identity… that one day.

There is a way to be good again.

A way…

to be good…

again.

There is a way.
