| From Nadia's Citizenship Ceremony |
I just finished writing on my own blog about the experience of watching Dad's friend from Afghanistan, Nadia Dildar, become an American citizen. Nadia is Daoud's wife.
Becoming an American was Nadia's dream. It was also Dad's dream for her. And to be there at the ceremony was to witness the power of dreams and of freedom. Afterwards, we went out to dinner and talked about Taliban, and burqas, and America. When dad knew her, she knew little English and he continued to encourage her and praise her every new English word. And he was apparently close at hand in more ways than one, as you'll see in the story. Anyway, I think that you might enjoy hearing about the experience. Click here to read more.
