This string of texts from Dana's mother Joan from today-
7:20 am Dana: OMG am in Pouss since yesterday. Am installed next door to my old house. My phone died in afternoon. Today is market. Now am charged. Perfect timing for funeral.
7:46 am Joan: Kee vee lee jam? Missing you. thanks for the ext. Is this house in your old compound? I love market. Eat a beignet for me. Memories. Searching for signal kills phone. Is there electricity in Pouss? Hug for you. buy food from me. Love you.
9:19 am Dana: Funeral ends Thurs. They want me to adopt Djara. She is 11 and wants a family. she looks just like Amina.
9:23 am Jam Kadaye--everything different yet same. Cried lots yesterday for Amina. EV
9:24 am Joan expected that. At work. answer soon.
11:48 am Joan: I cry thinking of her also.
11:50 am Joan: How does Asta feel re: adoption? How do Ellie and Ethan feel about it? Djara will be swayed by adult opinions. Big change for everyone. Yet many come. Noah will talk with Violet who came at 17 from Rwanda for her perspective. glad you're in time for funeral. Hugs from me.
1:50 pm Dana: She is right here next to me. she LOVES the doll-is braiding her hair. Every 6 pieces is a braid.
1:59 pm Dana: Asta thinks is good Djara will go to school and won't have to marry young. she looks just like AMina. they both greet you. Ellie want, Ethan not. Love.
2:50 pm Joan Hello Djara, I am glad you like the doll.
