I've decided to get a "martyr trading card" for each person who dies in my tenor as a "civil protector". I think each is a badge of my failures here, and a reminder of the costs of making mistakes.. So far, there are two or three that we could have specifically prevented with our presence.. I don't have all of those cards, but I'm sure I'll find them..
As a Muslim, it is a religious duty for me to attend another Muslim's funeral and pray for them. As I went through the motions of this, my first real funeral since I got here, I wondered if there was any way around it.. Funerals, I don't like..
Mohammed leaves tomorrow.. Despite the way our relationship must seem to the people around us, I will be sad to see him go.. We have played quite nicely off of each other in most cases..
Here's hoping tomorrow works out..
