Something I forgot to say about that last post... That memory is from my last trip here (during the war), life has been much better this time around, however I can't help but think of how bloody things continue to be over here. I wasn't posting for a bit because 2 of the Arabic translators (like me) left for a couple o' days and I had to cover down on their shifts as well as my own, but they are back now and so I will be writing again. I thank those of you who follow my blog and encourage you to share it with others you know (or even if you don't know them). I apologize about any offence taken to the language in the post prior to this one, that is just how things are in my mind when I think about that so I figured I would be honest with my words as well. Take care and be safe. Feel free to comment as well....

Zach,
Life is full of so much -- more for some than others. YOu are one of those people experiencing a lot more than others, and I'm not just talking about the traumatic stuff. You've always been one to embrace and cherish the joy and wonder of this world. I think that is some of the way that we are similar. Being someone like that, it is hard to even admit that the traumatic things really happened and they are part of who you are now...even when the memory is so vivid. I am proud of you and all that you are accomplishing in your life, but also learning how to process your life. It's so hard to learn how to deal with and express some things. Thank you for sharing some of those things with us. YOu are such a special, gifted person. YOu and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
love,
casey
