So I finally got around to getting the pictures of Elissar's birthday from Rola. They are pretty good. It was a nice party. Zouheir's mom, sister, brother, and his brother's family were there. Elissar could have cared less that everyone was there for her. The only thing she was interested in was keeping her cousin Noor away from her bike. I baked the cake myself from scratch. It tasted pretty good and in the pictures it doesn't look too bad. Everyone had a really good time and really enjoyed coming to our house.
Zouheir\s cousin died yesterday and his uncle died today. His cousin had cancer of the face (I don't know what it is called). About two years ago they removed his eye. But the cancer continued to spread and they eventually had to remove most of his left cheek and left jaw bone. Zouheir said he died from cancer, but depression is really what killed him. Zouheir's uncle had been in the hospital for a couple of weeks, suffering from hepatitis. He has been sick for a while and was not expected to last this long. So Zouheir is going to be busy for the next week or so with family and funerals. Here in Syria men and women do the funeral thing separately and since I never met either one I am not expected to attend anything. I am kinda relieved about that. Funerals here usually last a few days and it is a lot of sitting around.
