It is painful when you are denied the right to have a passport but more painful than that is to have a passpsort but unable to secure a visa because you hail from a war-torn nation with no recognized government. Thanks dear Mikii and convey my best wishes to Baba. Your younger brother and son Abdi-Noor

It is a good idea to have a passport. Every family member should have one, whether they plan on traveling or not. Takes forever to get one nowadays. Mine needs renewing. Thanks for the reminder.

Mikki, when I was a kid I stupidly used the "n" word and was immediately knocked across the room by my dad, who said, no one uses that word in this house. And it never was.

The write is great, quite funny and as usual well written. And by the way I'm too cheap to spend that much money on a passport, so I guess, I ain't going across any border I can't come back from without any border guard.

Cheers!

I hate that word, N-----, absolutely abhor it. This is a sad fact of life, written humorourously, but born from deep pain. Well done, Mikii.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla. *tears*
