First time after 17 years

I am excited these days, My younger Uncle "Imad" will come to our city, I have been here in the United states for 18 months now and didn't see him.

He is the youngest of 10 siblings, left Iraq (as I remember) around 1992 to refuge into the United states. and I haven't seen him since then.
It is kind of pain to see our family separating into pieces, that all is Saddam's fault He was treating us as sheep.
Anyways, My uncle is here and I will sit with him and talk about all these days. wao, that is really good
We were thinking (I and my brother Ghassan) that we would go to him, he lives Oregon and we are in Texas.
