I stayed up and called them at 8.30am their time to see if they made it down to Beirut safely. check. I woke up early and called them at 1pm to see if they were on the ship. Nope, not yet. They were "checked in" and their bus was being held for 3 hours, so when I called they were sitting, waiting. I have spent so much time with the cell phone glued to my ear that I am 46 minutes away from my limit this month.

My parents really would not be leaving if it were up to them. Every year they spend the spring & summer there, and their fall & winter here, and this whole war and evacuation just didn't fit into their plans. The good news is my father completed some crazy root canal work on Monday, his foot is feeling better, and my mom had time to get her hair done. SA says she's going to be the prettiest refugee!

and look a all those bright colours in your painting, much brighter than usual, your happiness is beaming through!!!
Congratulations on the good news, wishing your parents a safe and comfortable journey back.
I really like this one too. I'm glad you're feeling better and are drawing again!
It's so sad about what your parents are going through. Being forced to leave behind a home is such an unfair event for them. I never understand the need for a war.
I will pray for the safety of your parents. It must be tough for you on your end. Take care and update us about it.
I love how you did everyone's hair. I enjoy the family story as well & hope all goes well- good use of color!
Thank goodness for telephones, hairdressers and dentists. At least your parents are only refugees for a temporary period of time. Thank god.
This is truly representative of "Opposites". You've expressed that so well with the opposing feelings in the faces of you & your parents.
I absolutely detest what is happening in Lebanon. I feel so ashamed of the United States government for not taking a more steadfast approach to helping bring about a peace.
I wish your parents well.
Great illo:)
Coool take on the theme! Love the layout design of this illo. :)
