    We have Syrian, Iraqi, and others who have recently come to our country. (When I say we and our I also mean them)

    My fence is covered in grape leaves from about April to September. I get lots of people around the neighbourhood that come by to take them.

    Last year one old dude came and started picking them. I got up to say hello.

    He spoke no English.

    He said some things and made some gestures and I kinda got the gist.

    Went inside got him some water and a cloth.

    He drank and wiped his hands.

    Shook my hand and said habibi.

    I almost cried.
