My Sister

Monah, Farid, Palestine, 2004, Beit Liqya"This is your sister, Monah."

I had known of Monah but this was the first time in my 39 years that I was meeting her. I was worried that the difference in language, culture, space and time would prevent us from getting close and and knowing each other.

I was wrong. Odd how in 10 days we both came to really have strong feelings for each other -- as if this was always was and meant to be. It's exciting to finally have a sister. Having met her gives new meaning to the word "sister" other than the one I've associated it with.
