A Child is Born

Julie Taha, Christmas Eve 2010.

On Christmas Eve, Julie kicked and screamed her way through a C-section, arriv­ing in Indianapolis, a tiny spot on the west­ern hemi­sphere of Planet Earth.

And now she won’t stop yawning.

She gets that bored indif­fer­ence from her uncle, but luck­ily every­thing else is her par­ents: at a slight two-and-a-half kilos, fair-skinned and button-nosed, she’s her father thirty years ago. And her full pink cheeks and thick head of hair are her mother’s.

Julie Taha, my niece, Tarek and Zeina’s daugh­ter, I can’t wait to meet you!
