My parents in my beautiful Addis Ababa apartment, celebrating my father's 92nd birthday.
It is incredible to live this long, to have seen so much, and to have a brain as sharp as a whistle.
And to see them here in Addis Ababa, after so long.
I take full responsibility for convincing them that this would be their best bet, their best choice. A while ago, when most Ethiopians were still thinking about what to do with their disjointed lives in the West, I was writing in my blog about the "Return Home."
Later, various groups started coming up with the "Diaspora" return, but that was after I voiced it.
Surely, someone read my humble blog, and caught that initial spark.
Look at it now.
The work is far from over, but it has started!
