I have the privilege of posting this article by my father-in-law who also happens to be a parent of Third Culture Kids. He asked if he could contribute a post here, and I’m grateful for his input.
How reliable are memories?
Africa
empty sky
dun earth
plain dwellings
few chairs
broken cars
hot sun
dusty cities
picked pockets
Africa
timeless space
rolling plains
shining faces
cheerful voices
jewel clothes
open arms
fragrant stew
fading memories
