Tombol

Dude ... just wanted you to know that aliya and I had this crazy 2 hour lunch the other day and people must have thought we were completely nuts, because we were one minute laughing hysterically and the next minute crying thinking and talking about you. I asked her about celebrating her birthday and she doesn't want to but i told her you would be pissed if we didn't, so we will be doing something low key.

Wishing you were here more and more every day. I thought it was supposed to get easier ... not so much. Just can't stop thinking about you these days and wondering what it would be like if you were here.

You should be here.

Haffar Video

Dear family,

I was a friend of Tombol's and was there for everything last summer. Since then I have moved to LA, but have been trying to keep up with whatever is being done in order to get Haffar back in the courts. Things should have never gone the way they did, let alone a bail posted for his release. But, I have to take this extremely random video of Syrian night-life as a sign of karma on behalf of Haffar. It may take a lot of work to get him back, but I truly believe justice will be made.

There are too many loved ones for Tombol who would never let his death be dismissed, as you very well know, and we will all be there for support and encouragement. This video is a giant step forward to getting him back here, and I just wish you all the very best in succeeding.

I miss him very much, and his bravery is with all of us...

Tombol,

I am thinking of you and miss you very much. Your pictures are still up in my backroom. I don't know what else to say, except, I miss you.
