To my daughter: https://youtu.be/3k009TIxQc8 I have traveled and seen so many places in a variety of countries. I actually lived a full life.

I had my daughter exactly when I wanted to in life
I had a conversation with a man today, who is the same age I am. He told me that his kids were all grown and gone. He had had children very early in life and told me I should have done the same, so that way I could be free to do whatever I wanted.... Continue Reading →
Why didn’t he just contact the American Embassy in the first place?

The echo in my head
I keep thinking about the conversation we had yesterday. The way he was acting and the tone of his voice brought back in memory a conversation we had about DD years ago.
