I asked him to show me his hands, and this is what he did, like they just automatically went to that position.

It's quite a story. I'll post more about it next week.

I'm glad they're here too. He's a good guy, and I am happy he made it.

He's doing good--has his family here, going to school, and learning the ways of the US. This was from a shoot I did for a news magazine. The story will be published next week, and I'll post a link to it.
