Thinking of you, بابا

Although we did not speak the same language and lived in different countries, you were the only grandfather I met. I was looking through some photos from 2004 when you came to visit the United States. That was the last time I saw you. I remember the time you came to visit when I was about 7 or 8. You re-tiled my parent's bathtub. After you were in there for a few hours, I went to go and see you. You were covered in white powder from head to toe. I thought it was the funniest thing. Thank you for making me smile. Rest in peace...
