We gave Saad a linen map of Arabia to hang on his barren apartment wall, he was happy to see it, he named each country on the map and showed us where he was born and lived. I thought the map made him sad for a moment, but then he said it comforted him. It is not easy to start over. He and Maria found many ways to communicate.
