Anxiety...
E. was the first to hear it. We were sitting in the living room and he suddenly jumped up, alert, "Do you hear that?" He asked. I strained my ears for either the sound of a plane or helicopter or gun shots. Nothing... except, wait... something... like a small stream of... water? Could it be? Was it back? We both ran into the bathroom where we had the faucets turned on for the last eight days in anticipation of water. Sure enough, there it was- a little stream of water that kept coming and going as if undecided. E. and I did a little victory dance in front of the sink with some celebratory hoots and clapping.
Imagine waiting for the streaming water.
Imagine waiting for electricity -seems that people in Ghent have an experience of that by now ;) -
Some things just got so obvious for all of us.
As if it always was there.
But it wasn't.
Read this and this amazing post to get an idea how life is in Iraq for ordinary people.
