A Tutsi Woman


During the genocide a Tutsi woman was tortured and raped multiple times by Hutu extremists. Her family was tortured and killed an the river near her home. She was left for dead. But she lived. She became pregnant and kept the baby (I don’t think abortion is a real option here). She had no other family left alive. Her only surviving child was fathered by one of her tormentors. How can you get your head around something like this? She kept her baby and she loves it despite how it came to be. She loves this baby. That is God.
