Rahim, Nada and Adele

Adele and I spent our lunch hour at Rahim and Nada's house. Rahim is a renowned Iraqi Oud player. His wife is Syrian. They both became US citizens last year. Adele and I are 2/3 of the board of Rahim's nonprofit called Ur Arts and Culture. We were having a lovely Arabic lunch and working on taxes. Nada is having some serious health problems so we were there to provide support, too. It is a scary time for both of them.
