Family photo

Family photo

This is a photo of my grandchildren. My [eldest] son is called Abdul; he is in Lebanon. When he left Syria, Abdul was fifteen, sixteen years old, now he is 27. He has three kids; I haven’t met them [in person] … Every time I talk to my grandchildren I always tells them I will send an aeroplane to come and get them to be with us here. Until this moment when they sit on the balcony, or in the street, and that see that aeroplane flying somewhere they start to wave to the aeroplane, and say “come and take us we will go to see granddad and granny.”
