I was reading some articles and watching some videos on the Mumbai attacks today, and then suddenly my mind turned towards an attack that hurt and disturbed me equally. The attack on the Army Public School of Peshawar. I can't put into words how much that attack disturbed me back then, and how much it still hurts me now.

I remember one of [MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION]'s relative lost both their sons in the attack. He attended the funeral and told us how the situations were.

I have been watching videos related to that attack for a couple of hours, and then I came across a particular video.

This mother was a teacher in that school. She lost her son in that attack, and she still continues her job in that very school. It really, really hurts watching this video and remembering what happened -

 
The most heinous and horrific crime, it still pains me to read about this..

I still feel the pain, the despair. Mostly because it were kids who were targeted. I can't even express my disgust, my anger while I'm typing his. There are some pain that don't fade away with time. This attack is one of them.
 
A very tough day for Pakistan.

Still remember when a family member called me and I followed the live coverage. Everyone I knew was in mourning for weeks :(
 
One of the biggest tragedies in history of Pakistan, but undoubtedly the biggest in history of Peshawar. It's been 4 years now and life goes on, but the horrific memories of this day lingers on. In some ways, it is to us, the people of Peshawar, what 9/11 was to New Yorkers.

Almost everyone knows someone who lost a child - APS is one of the most popular schools in the city. No city has suffered more from terrorism than Peshawar, but no one thought that the perpetrators could go to such lengths. More than the grief, it was the shock that people could not overcome.
 
This lady is an example of courage. Can't imagine how she would be feeling working where her son was killed.
