April 24th. It’s A Day Of Remembrance, Of Truth, Of Honoring Over 1.5 Million Armenian Lives Lost — And Of Recognizing The Strength, Faith And Resilience That Live On Through Generations. For Our Family, It Also Holds A Deeply Personal Story Of Loss, Separation And Reunion That Reminds Us Why We Must Continue To Remember.
Every Year On April 24th, My Mom Would Take A Moment To Pause, Reflect And Honor A History That Shaped Our Family And Our Identity. Since Losing Her, Continuing This Tradition Has Become Something Deeply Important To Me — A Way To Keep Her Voice Alive.
Written By My Mother...
TODAY IS APRIL 24TH - a day of observance and respect for the over 1,500,000 armenian souls who were massacred by the turkish empire - a day no one should forget!! on a personal note my father, rev kourken koudoulian was separated from his dear mother during this slaughter and thru hard work and God’s grace he found her and was reunited with her in 1962 when he went to Armenia!! he along with his siblings grew up without a mother but was fortunate to find her after so many years - our descendants believed in our faith and ancestry and to this day we must carry their memories in our hearts and minds - God bless the Armenian Nation.
