Lyn, I was on a road trip for work today, listening to NPR, and kept hearing a clip about how it may be dangerous to stay in Syria and dangerous to leave… I confess to not knowing as much as I should about the refugee situation, and I wondered if you have shared your perspective?
I have not. I have all of my in laws there and I worry daily! I tried to get my two nephews here to attend school a couple years back but it never worked out! I just feel sad and now disconnected from them. It is hard to imagine honestly! the people you love and you are sitting in a home, safe, warm. It is hard enough in syria, when we went those summers, electricity turns off 2 hours each day, water is limited! so I cant imagine now!
well we only went for summers here and there. I begged for him to bring his family just never happened!! so, they miss the uncles and family for sure. It is a tough place to go and stay, if you go stay at a nice hotel ok but living there is hard and we were not used to it. We lived as they did for those short weeks and it was tough!
Looks arid like where I am!

These pictures give a good idea of the life in that area. It is certainly much different than here in the US.

It is tough! We lived when we went as they did and it was not easy! No frills!

Do your children ever miss being there? I know there was a lot of hardship but is there anything they miss about it?

I just can not imagine living there, as you did. I’d be terrified just to visit!

I only visited there on several summers and that was hard enough.
