My uncle works in Egypt and comes back to the states several times a year. I won't let myself worry about him because the ******** hasn't seen me me since before his mother (my grammy) and his sister (my mother) died 13 years ago.I took care of both of them--- never a thank you. I don't exist to him, but he is in contact with my sister.

A young man from Egypt works at our convenience store. I've spent a lot of time talking with him- just general stuff. Such a nice guy. A couple of months ago, he offered to take me to Egypt to see a healer. He said his uncles offered to pay. I just felt so uncomfortable, I haven't been back since. I feel badly about it.

I can only take the Egypt news in small bits.
