Wow Pia, I was absolutely captivated from the first line. Your writing transported me. I could feel the warmth of Aden, the tension and joy of first meetings, and the deep tenderness in every detail you chose to share. It was more than just a travel memory; it was an invitation into your world, your perspective, and your heart. I felt your emotions, your awe, and your gratitude in every scene. Thank you for this breathtaking piece—it was a joy to read, and I didn’t want it to end.

Love it love it

Thank you so much, Ali :) Your words mean a lot! Inshallah, we can meet in Aden soon and have some of my sister in law's shay. Rumor has it that it is the best in the country.

Thank you, Ahmed! You had me get emotional and laugh out loud with your comment. I'm looking forward to knowing what you think about the other stories about Yemen.
