And here's my other favorite one. Fares brought this back from Iraq with him. It has matching earrings, ring, and bracelet. The silver is incredibly soft so the ring and bracelet are virtually unwearable. It's silver and turquoise. He gave me this the last time I saw him. It was after he'd asked me to marry him, and I asked him this time, what my life would be like if I was married to him. When he told me, I knew our cultural differences were just too great for me to say yes. I miss him terribly. I saw his friend Ali in the library maybe two months ago---and now he comes in all the time and we talk whenever I see him. But I can't bring myself to ask about Fares anymore--after the first time I did. Because I went in the back room and cried my eyes out---I miss him that much. He's in TO, so close, but so far...
