Part 13

We go home to rest for a while. Neither one of us feels like we are on top of the world - more like under the wheels of a bus. I take my med for the night and eat some yogurt. I climb into bed. We are lying there and just suddenly the tears flow. The tension of all this, the not talking to each... Sign in to see full entry.

Mom

Whose arms will cuddle me Until the tears dry away? Whose hand will hold me Guiding me safely across the street? Whose words will soothe me As I nurse a broken heart? Whose strength will support me As my world falls apart? Whose wisdom will stay with me All the years of my life? *Happy mother's day... Sign in to see full entry.

He Approaches

He approaches My Don Quixote Alone No white stallion Nor armor that shines Not tilting at windmills He dons his signature gear Striped red and black cap Covers his black curls Grey t shirt Baggy jeans secured with a ratty belt Catlike, long steady strides Confident self-assured I his Dulcinea Post...

I wait outside again while Noaman checks with the post office. The package finally arrived and they delivered it already to Mr. Hassan. “Let’s drive by and see if he is there.” I said. I have been waiting so long for that package. We drive by there but the shop is closed. It’s been almost two hours... Sign in to see full entry.

We drive home. The pharmacy is right there on the corner. We walk over and Noaman gives them the list. He also has his blood pressure taken. It’s fine. I would hope so with all the meds the doctor has him taking. Noaman hangs on to me almost pulling me down. The elevator ride to the flat is quiet. I... Sign in to see full entry.

4-4 part 10

We exit the office to descend the stairs. I am so lightheaded that I am not sure I can make it down the stairs without falling or fainting. I take the steps slowly one by one. No sympathy from Noaman as he says “I too! I too!” We get in the car. I am feeling worse by the moment. “Noaman.” “Yes?” “I... Sign in to see full entry.

“Unbelievable. The Mahmoud is unbelievable.” “I don’t know why you find anything is unbelievable. You have known him for many years so nothing he does should surprise you at all. Where are we going?” “We are going to pick up the translation of your police report for the embassy.” “Okay.” I sit back... Sign in to see full entry.

Noaman parks the car and we walk a block back to the restaurant Ana Misho. It is within his price range – Cheap! It’s busy and as usual we start to go upstairs to eat and a lady complains that she was there first. Luckily they have two tables available so it is not an issue. Mahmoud gests about how...

Noaman comes into the room upon hearing this. Does he defend what he said to Mahmoud? No! He agrees with me and argues my case! What the hell is going on? This guy doesn’t remember any of his complaints and then leaves his lawyer swinging in the wind. The discussion goes forward with Noaman... Sign in to see full entry.

“He also tells me you asked him to call a guy for him. That is not allowed here. It looks very bad.” “First of all, we talked several times about having friends of the opposite sex and on all occasions he said it was okay.” His eyes roll all over. “I never asked him to call a guy. I told him I... Sign in to see full entry.
