I just learned that Sarina was my niece.I just learned that her mother is my half sister. I just learned all of this while learning that Sarina gave her life in the service of our country. Am am so sad that I did not get to know her. I hope I can get to know her mother (my long long sister). The world is full of sadness and lack of justice. I am so sorry to see my own blood kin being subject to this condition. I love you Sarina and wish I had had the chance to tell you this in person.
