At the Children Festival
Buchela peered at the goats.
Coping
Buchela doesn't like it here. Everyday, he tells me, "Mama, lets go to Songhaili!"
Songhaili is the name of our apartment in China.
He had just learned it and enjoyed telling taxi drivers in Dalian where to take us when it was time to go home.
On this side of the Ocean
I am in the US with both Dinbit and Buchela.
Making the journey, almost two days, alone with the two kids was brutal even if they both behaved generously.
Buchela had his own bag and he carried it around dutifully even if it was, I felt, too heavy.
