And then there's silence

The house is so quiet it's driving me crazy. There are no kids to laugh and play, there is no 5ala to talk to, and there is no Bebe to tell me stories of Iraq. They are gone, and I feel so depressed and lonely. It was one of the best summers I've ever had, theres only one summer I can think of that beats this one and it was also spent with my aunt and cousins only at there house in Canada. Everywhere I look I see the three girls running around....in the morning when I woke up today I started crying because there was no little S to give me my mornining hug. When I cried as they left my mom told me "il dinya dar itafree8" (the world is a house of seperations). I wish with all my heart that it wasn't true but in my 17 years on this earth it seems as though it is...goodbyes are part of life aren't they? Yes, one of the most difficult ones of all....

For now I think I'm going to go but later I'll share some pictures of places we went, conversations, and funny things the kids did.
