Okay start with the good news - we came home from my teacher/friend Timur aka's house and the hot water is on.

The bad news - R left the bag with our wedding album in it in the backseat of the taxi we took home. Not an official taxi that would have a lost and found, the back of the car we flagged down because that is how you take taxis in Uzbekistan. I am so upset, I'm still crying and R has gone out for a walk. My aunt gave us the nice photo album with the dragon fly silk pattern on it that matched the purse I used during our wedding. My mom took a lot of time and put in picture and pasted our invitation on one cover and our vows on the other. Now it is gone. I can't possibly think of any way to get it back. I could put an add in a paper, but which one, and I REALLY don't feel comfortable publishing my phone number. I think I will call our neighbors Yulduz opa and family - maybe they will have a bright idea. I feel awful - just awful.

That sucks. That really does. I'm sorry to hear that.

I hope you are managing your anger at the situation and not completely letting loose on R. Having left so many thing behind myself, I know what it is like to be the one who leaves something wonderful.

yeah it's not anger only extreme sadness - I've told R that I'm not mad at him and that I don't want him to feel bad - but I'm not sure how to deal with how I'm feeling right now - That album was a combination of work of a lot of women who were very special to me, and I don't expect it to have the same meaning for R. Normally I guard those kinds of things very closely but I'm trying to give in to the culture and let the boys carry things more often. This is one thing I really shouldn't have let out of my grasp.

I realize that having R in my life is more valuable than pictures, I'm just really sad to have lost them.

I understand. I know (a little) how you feel. It sucks to lose a gift of so many people's work.

Surely there is a phone number or an address that you *are* comfortable publishing? Somewhere with a secretary, perhaps? You seem to have so many different contacts....

yeah I'm talking to the neighbors about this - they don't seem to think an add in the paper will help - not very many people read them and there are literally dozens of different papers.

My mom just emailed me saying that she will try to find another album like the one my aunt and her found for me and she has some of the pictures that D took in california as well as some of the ones my father took. Everything should be okay, or kind of okay at least.

Oh, that's so awful and so sad. I have no bright ideas, but I really do hope you get it back.
