Take Me Home

Take Me Home

When the train hit, we all felt it. Maybe not physically but with a tidal force that rapidly unearthed a pain that none of us were ready for. From Ghana to Ecuador, Benin to El Salvador, Lebanon to Taiwan, Gujarat to China, Burma to Kenya; we were wounded. This jolt of agony traveled in a variety of paths for each of us - text, phone call, social media, police visit, and in person. No matter what language each of us received the news, it didn't seem tangible. "Nancy was dead." ????? ???? ???? Nancy était morte. ?????? ??? ?? ???. Nancy estaba muerta. Nancy estaba muerta.
