The Last Night in Oz

It is 11 p.m. here.  Tonight I was at Houssaine's private school and taught his class.   I hope I did an OK job.

After school (9p.m.) we went back to his house and we all said our goodbyes.  I was in tears.  This family has really been a family to me. 

They presented me with gifts.  One that I will tell you about is a ring.  It is a silver Berber ring with a design on it.  The design means "one without borders" and that surely is me.I   will wear this ring always and it will always be, not only a reminder of my Berber family, but about who I am - a woman without borders - a woman who does not distinguish people by country, colour,  religion, or language.

Thank you for knowing who I really am.
