I am, surprisingly, still astonished at your life and all that you've gone through. In the last section I read, you had to travel to America to get out of Pakistan. From what you wrote, it seems like a very traumatic experience for you and I can't believe how you could have gotten through it. I know that I would never be able to do it. You were always talking about the smells, the sleep deprivation, the other people, and just everything that was terrible on the way to Peshawar. I am almost sure that I'd have given up and either killed myself or just gotten out and left with Baba. I give you extreme props for staying with it because you knew that you'd maybe have a better future in America than you would in the changing Pakistan. You knew how disappointed Baba would be in you if you couldn't make it all the way. In a way, I think that's how you kept it up. How you persisted in traveling was because Baba was being just as brave and he was your stronghold in that hard time. I'm also glad that when you finally got there, things started looking up, and you got into "junior college" and you graduated, and you'll soon be going to real college in the fall. Baba actually told you that he was very proud of you, that you got to do the things that he never did in his life. I am excited to see what happens with Sonraya, the beautiful girl that you met at the market. I can't wait to finish your story!!
