I have a friend from grad school, Ahmed, from Libya. After Clemson, he headed home for a while, and then to work on a PhD in Canada. When the way broke out, I emailed him to check on his family and he responded that he was home in Tripoli. I emailed him a few times since then and never heard back. Until today! He gchatted me to say that he was alive and well! I'm so thankful.
He and his family are just trying to stay alive during the war. He lost an uncle in the fighting. He hasn't really had internet since February. No one is able to work. His family is hanging in there.
I can't imagine that. Sometimes I forget how good I have it.
