“We were both born in Galkayo; I didn’t know her that well but I knew her family who were well known in Galkayo. We met and got to know each other very well at our universities. I went to the College of Agriculture, and she went to Lafole University, which were next to each other in Afgoye district. Back then, young people got to know each other through sports, playing basketball, football, etc. We have been inseparable ever since. I used to travel a lot back in Somalia, and she would be ever patient, and now she’s the one that travels a lot, and I’m the patient one. She loves visiting hotels that I used to visit in the 1980s, and we reminisce about our long phone chats. Love is about balance. If you give too much love, you will drive each other away, but if you only show little, it will cause resentment. One thing that worked for us is that it’s all about compromise. If my wife comes up with something that I don’t like initially, I don’t argue back; I accept it. If voiced my objection right away, we would both get defensive, and it will turn into a full blown argument so what I do is say yes. We revisit the topic much later, where we are much calmer, and talk about it and the majority of the time we agree. Relationships are like elastic bands, if you pull too hard, it will snap but if you pull it gently and know when to let it go, that is the key to a successful relationship, and it’s a gift that not many people have. I’ve discovered that through trial and error to know were my husband’s limit is and he knows where my limit lies.” (Seattle, United States) “Anagu waxaanu ku dhalanay magaaladda Gaalkacyo, aqoon badan uma lahayn iyada inkastoo qoyskeedu ahaa qoys aad looga yaqaanno magalada Gaalkacayo. Waxaanu si wacan isu baranay xiligii aanu jaamacaddaha ku jirnay. Anigu waxaa dhigan jiray kuliyada Beeraha iyaduna Jaamacadda Lafoole. Labada jamacadoodba waxay ku yaleen degmada Afgooye. Hadaan dib ugu noqdo wakhtigaas, dhalinyaradu waxay ku kulmi jireen iskuna baran jireen goobaha ciyaaraha lagu ciyaaro sida kubada gacanta iyo kubada cagta iyo goobaha lamidka ah. Kadib ilaa wakhtigaas waxaanu noqonay laba qof aan marna kala tagi karin. Anigu waan safar badnaa, Iyaduna dulqaad badanbay ii muujisay. Haddana Iyada safarta, anigu waan u samra. Waxay jeceshay in ayy ku degto hotelladii aan ku degi jiray 1980-kii. Markaas ayey ii sharaxdaa, durbaa waxaan galna xasuus waayo waayo ah, iyo bilowgii jacaylkeena. Sideedaba jacaylku waa inu noqdo mid ku dhisan halbeeg isu miisaaman, hadii aad jacayl badan siiso qofka kale ama u muujiso waxaba dhici karta in uu dhib keeno sababi karta kala tag ama waxbadan la isla fahmi waayo, lakiin hadii aad si degan u tusto qofka kale wuxuu keena in labada qof ku degaan jacaylkooda. Tusaale, anagu waxaanu ku guulaysanay oo fure u noqday guushayada waa in aanu isu tanaasulo. Hadii marwadaydu ila timaado arrin shakhsiyan anigu anaan jeclaysan markiiba toos uma diido waan ku raaca waan aqbalaa, hadii aan diido taasi waxay keeni karta in aanu dagaalano ama buuq badan dhaco marka waxa iraahda haye. Wakhti kadib waanu ka wada hadalnaa sida noo wacan anaga Inta badana waanu isku raacna go’aamada iyadoon dagaal iyo buuq dhicin. Runtii xiriirka qoysku waa sida laastiiga, hadii aad xoog u kala jiido dhaawacba soo gaaraya laakiin hadii aad si wacan u jiido waad fahmaysa sida uu shaqaynayo ama loo isticmaali karo. Xiriirka qoyska guulaysta waa sidaas oo kale. Waa hadiyad Alle bixiyo dad badana aysan haysan. Waxaan soo maray xaalado badan khaladad iyo wanaagba lahaa si aan u ogaado samirka saygayga iyo intaan aniguna dulqaad yeelankaro.” (Seattle, Maraykanka)
