Just to share a little something here now that the troops have left Iraq. When I was in Mosul, Iraq in 2006 my family was given two matching gorillas as a gift, a small and a large one. Anna, who was three at the time sent me the small one. I gave that gorilla to this small Iraqi child who was severely injured and came to us with a horrific bowel injury from Syrian fighters who blew up a school. She was in love with this gorilla. My youngest has loved the larger of the two now for two years. It is amazing how innocent children are. It is amazing how these two stuffed animals that came as a pair but are separated by distance both had/have provided an amazing amount of love.
