Boxes
Wednesday, December 6th, 2006 at 9:45 pm by BethEverything is in boxes again. The kitchen table is a pile of cartons and Sam sits on top with a book. Linda gave us her good frying pan, "so you remember Texas". Marat the guard gave Lily a tiny felt horse his wife made. Rahim ata wouldn't take any money for the last kilo of apples; he pressed them into my arms and said something I understood only the last word of: "Ohio".
I tried to write down all the people to say goodbye to and the list is too long. I'll send a long letter from the airport.
