Yousef said Issa's team arranged a time for his family to go to the airport with an escort from U. S. authorities. He described talking to Issa's team from where he was in California. At the same time, he was navigating his family through the chaos in Afghanistan.
His family returned home to California on Friday, September 3. The first thing he did was take them to IHOP, the International House of Pancakes. It's their favorite restaurant.
He hopes more of those happy moments will wipe away the deeply distressing memories his kids have. His 7-year-old son, his youngest, has been talking about the violence.
"They are talking about it, about the gunfire, and being scared of the Taliban, but we hope they forget all that," said Yousef. He wants them to return to their lives as regular American kids.
