After 30 hours of travel, including a nine hour layover in Lima, we arrived in the Richmond airport on Monday night, although sadly, our luggage did not. I was so exhausted and out of my body, we may as well have flown between planets as North and South America.
Valley, I felt this way 30+ years ago when I came back to the U.S. from Cambodia. My boyfriend at the time, who had come to the U.S. as a refugee from Ethiopia, looked at me, hugged me, and said, "I'll be right back." He returned with flowers and said "It's hard, isn't it?"
It’s exciting to find your work here in substack, Valley! I can’t wait to read more! 😎😍😎

What a sweetheart!!! Did I meet him when we visited you in Chicago when I was about 13??
Hey Val, you might have! So sorry I just don't remember. He was a very good guy!
