We walk further along the street. We see the lights from the restaurant. Woo hoo! No lines! We must have beat the dinner rush because this place is always packed with a waiting line. There are a few people ahead of us but there are several tables that are open but not clean yet. I tell him that I... Sign in to see full entry.

“How did it go with Mohamed?” “It was okay. He keeps talking about getting a car.” “You said no car until he graduates.” “Yes but he offers to pay part of it from his savings.

Nataly already did by getting her pharmacy degree. She works at the pharmacy about a two minute walk from the flat that they will move back into once it is renovated.

“Oh so now it’s okay for me to sit up front with you.” “Annie, come up front.” “No! It wasn’t okay for me to sit up front the whole day now all of the sudden it is.” “They are fighting.

Noaman hits Mohamed on the leg and then he greets me “Hi.” Nataly refuses to acknowledge me and continues to text as if I am not even there. We go to one hospital and Noaman tells me to wait in the car. They come back out shortly after that. It’s the wrong place. We go to another and the same thing:... Sign in to see full entry.

another excerpt: We take his youngest son, Ahmad out to eat. We drive downtown and walk around. All three of us eat for about eight dollars. Not bad considering in the states I would pay that much just for myself. I order falafel, lentil soup, sliced beets and water. Noaman also orders soup and... Sign in to see full entry.

another excerpt: Noaman doesn’t like our flat. The electric is cut at least two to three times a week at first. Lately it is every day. The city does that in order not to overload any circuits.
