I love that Bulbul!

Thursday, January 8, 2015

Nice weather today (maybe 8 C?). Jude and Sue will visit me at 4:00 pm today, I’m happy to just sniff and hold my Bulbul after so long. I'm afraid I'll not be able to speak because of the overwhelming emotions.

I waited and waited until I finally met him, the tallest and thinnest boy I’ve seen lately. He’s sweeter than anything. He sat quietly. I couldn’t have enough of him. I love that Bulbul!

We talked mostly about my conditions. I felt the visit ended within two minutes, although the guard said we took 37 minutes. I didn’t have a watch.

I didn’t write anything during Jude and Sue’s visit. I was overwhelmed by my big and tall Bulbul. I was impressed by everything he represented and showed. He is everything one could wish to have and be. Let me admit that I may be biased. However, I can’t say I found a similar 14–15 year old boy like him elsewhere.

Sue and Jude brought me some books and clothes. I was happy to receive gloves and a hat. I feel so good now. I touched Bulbul after more than six years... I have to stop writing or my tears will blind me when I mention his name or think of him.

I just came back from the telephone booth where I called Samia after failing to contact you. Sometime in the coming week, I’ll see what’s going on regarding my inability to contact you... I’m very unhappy with the lack of telephone communications. Well, I’ll keep thinking of the little Balabels [nightingales / kids] that you have to deal with. I think of how much time you need versus how much time you have, of the help you need, of all the details... I try to look at the bright side and feel you have a circle of friends who are eager to help... I’m waiting to receive a letter with the baby’s photos from Samia.

I finished the drawing I intend to send with this letter (for Jena) and I need to write her a story after I finish the letter...
