"How could someone I'd known for so many years become such a stranger to me? I fought away the pain with hopes of seeing adorable little children at the clinic. The view from my seat was beautiful. We headed south past the Old Jewish Cemetery and onto Upper King Street. I was glad to see women walking with baskets and basins on their heads. We passed little old churches whose walls could tell countless stories about decades of lives lost, unions made and souls saved. School children were walking in their uniforms to taxi and bus stops. The locals stood and watched our caravan weave like a train on the old country road. We paused at a stop sign and I waved at a little old man smoking a cigarette who shot me a toothless smile in return. I found pleasure in the reality of it all. Despite their humble lives, we were greeted with waves and smiles along the way. They were happy. Where was my happiness?"
