I can’t sleep or eat because I am always thinking about my husband. I miss him very much and in fact I want to go stay with him in Kigali.

Finally, from so little sleeping and so much reading, his brain dried up and he went completely out of his mind.

What he could bear in the waking world he could not by night and he sat awake for fear the dream would return.
