It's 4am and I'm sobbing under my blanket. I feel so connected to your words. Sometimes I'm caught off guard by how much your writing resonates with me. It's like you're stealing the words out of my mouth... or rather heart.
Where do we go? Idk but I feel the need to stay right here for now and grief that potential.
Holding you close, Lama. I’m glad the words resonate and I hope the heaviness gets lighter now that you can name it. Stillness is good. I’ll try that too. So much love, Dinan.
Thank you for your incredible letters that resonate with my soul. I search for Khartoum in every corner of the world yet I only end up finding her in your letters 💙
“Those who had the privilege of leaving put one foot on more stable soil, straining between places, absent in both. But still hopeful enough to never really leave.” Thank you for this.
Incredibly moving! Thank you for your beautiful words and for putting into language this mess of emotions I’ve been feeling. It’s so difficult to navigate.

Dinan,
I started reading this letter the day it was posted, but I couldn’t finish, I knew I would be reminded of the sorrow and confusion we feel.
I’m back two months later, late at night, thinking of my mother, and therefore of Khartoum.
You always capture my feelings so perfectly.
I don’t know where we go from here, but I’d like to hold onto some hope (I think it’s delusion at this point, but we’re allowed a little)
We will go back, we will see her again.
With love (and respect),
Sara
