A lifetime without you

In 1964, the legendary French-Armenian singer Charles Aznavour released a poignant song titled "Hier Encore". One of the lines goes: "J'ai fondé tant d'espoirs qui se sont envolés, Que je reste perdu, ne sachant où aller, Les yeux cherchant le ciel, mais le cœur mis en terre" (I built so many hopes that flew away and now I remain lost, not knowing where to go, my eyes searching the sky, but my heart buried in the earth). This powerful line truly echoes the story of the Bedrossian brothers.
