I find this very interesting. DH and I are active in the American Legion here. We go every week - pitch horseshoes. I've found this group at our Legion very friendly, caring and "protective" of its members.
The question I have is WHY was Zahra at the Legion? From the article its kinda obvious it was a "dance" of some kind (he was Zahra's dance partner).
I don't think Zahra was there alone or even "dropped off". As we welcome kids at the Legion - a parent usually stays with them.
AB and EB don't look like "dancers" to me - or even they type to socialize with anyone - much less people at an American Legion.
Would like to hear more about this "dance" and the Legion. What did other members say? What type of event was it? Who took her there and why?
So many questions. I was glad to see that Zahra had a moment of sunshine - even if it was only a fleeting one.
I hate to disagree with you passionflower let her letters keep a comming the more she spills the deeper her grave... we need to know what she did to Zahra
HUGS !!!!
Oh one more thing i think he married her so he could come to the USA i think maybe he paid her to marry him but thats just my opinion.
In the video with the article it shows the boy and his mom(?) at the memorial in front of the house. So I thought he was here in the US.WiseOldOwl...I don't believe this happened here, Jonathan is from Australia so he's remembering her and telling Zahra was his dance partner...So sad these adults couldn't give Zahra her little happiness to keep in touch with a friend in her Homeland...the more I hear the more I want just 15 minutes...JMHO
Where is Zahra
This punches me in the stomach. Zahra had no way to reach the outside world. I won't be surprised to learn the letters were opened and read instead of being sent, even, and she also had no privacy whatsoever.
jmo
Now that makes perfect sense. He took her. So this had to be back in late 2008 and early 2009 when they first moved over here and lived with him.I remember an interview with EBs father. The family lived with him at some point. He said Zahra would go to the neighbourhood dances wih him and that she just loved to dance with the old folks. Was just thinking about this last nite as I wanted to add it to the All About Zahra thread. On a cell rite now but will look up a link when I get home.
Breaks your heart. I wish I could have adopted her, or taken her in as a foster child. What a sweet child she was. AB how could you?
