She's a fantastic kid, and I feel like her personality reflects qualities we've seen in the Lebanese people. She is unfailingly friendly, extends herself to strangers, loves excitement and adventure and the comfort of family. At times she is unbelievably bold, completely unafraid. She even seems to have a bit of that peaceful chaos that I hope Beirut will hold onto forever.

A Chaotic Kind of Peaceful
Five years ago, our second child was born here in Beirut.
