Silent night, my astronaut

The evening is long. It’s silent outside. We love silent. The most important thing is for the sirens not to howl. It is a bright day in February, but 7 year-old Ia and her family are in the dark. Church bells are ringing, sirens are screaming. The War has begun. Ia holds her astronaut doll close, and she wonders if there’s a super powerful astronaut in the sky keeping her safe.
