Khudadad, one of the two drivers at the hospital (the other being Moh’dullah, my escort from Pakistan) was to accompany me on the journey north, organising transport for after Sayed left us.

    Mary’s stories are so wonderful. Even very sad, but what can anyone expect about a country that has been at war for decades.
