"Walid at home.
On August 4, Walid was at home with me. He was on this same balcony when the explosion happened.

He even had a suitcase ready to leave the house and escape.
(I cried in his room and in his arms everyday for a few months after the explosion.
I realized later that I might have monopolized the trauma.)" © Myriam Boulos | Magnum Photos
