Ce soir, on reçoit Johanna Siméant-Germanos pour son nouveau livre Youssef ou la fidélité à soi paru chez Anamosa.

Our youngest child was dropped to the airport this morning, to begin a new life abroad for at least a couple of years. And hopefully not forever.

I have feelings.

Love, pride and sadness for them. Anger that they don't really have a choice to stay here and prosper. Fuck #FFG
