A nephew
Sunday, June 12th, 2011 at 10:40 pm by ErkinAigerim sent a video: my nephew Ermek, two years old, walks across the courtyard to the walnut tree, holds its trunk and says "ata". He means me. He has never seen me except on Aigerim's phone.
I watched it eleven times. Mahmud watched it twice and said "Fine boy. He will build." In the evening I counted: I have sent home so much since 2005 that I could have paid for half of a house. And I'm not at home to see the walls.
