As I am sitting here counting down to the time when my Iraqi friend Diva leaves Iraq, (Sunday) to come here for her Fullbright Scholarship assignment, all hell breaks loose in the Middle East, or should I call it the Middle Earth…
Anyway, I am just sick with worry, not to mention that her mother is headed for Syria to wait for Diva to complete her time in the US. Poor Diva’s mom maybe be heading out of the frying pan right into the fire…How unlucky can you get I wonder. Diva and her mother, indeed all the people in that area have endured so many years of war and hardship, how I wonder do they keep on going, have any positive thoughts at all….It is a mystery!
I hope all you who have a mind to will join me in sending positive thoughts and if so inclined, add your prayers, that Diva can make it out of there.
Just a couple more days is all she needs, please powers of the Universe let that be accomplished.
Wouldn’t you just know it????
