Yes we are back home in Chicago. I am discombobulated and exhausted. Part of me is scattered in Baghdad and near the border of Jordan. I'm not fully here yet.
Okay, now some tea would be a good idea.
I called my sister S and tried to explain the intrict details of the situation in Iraq. She said I should write all this down.
I'll try.
Dear Iraq, thank you for your warmth, your morning alarm bombs and traffic magic-madness car rides.
Stay well and goodbye.
Love, U
