The internet on my e-sim is not enough for much but whenever I get the chance I check tweets of normal life. Some celebrity wearing Dior. Poster of a new movie. Short clip of a wedding. Family having a picnic. And I feel happy that people are not going through what we are going through. Peace exists on the other side of the world. It’s so close we could touch it. Life seemed so promising to me and I worked really hard to make something of my kids. I raised them with love and care. Their father was coming in December, this month, after finishing his MA studies. For two years, Faisal, Jawad and Rita had nothing to wait for but the idea of meeting their father in December. One small family of 5. We made jokes about how we’re meeting him and that Jawad will curse him for leaving us because this middle child’s mouth has always been uncontrollable.
I am not writing my final words, no!I just want you to know Palestinians here wanted to live and have normal lives. They wanted nothing but peace. And the story goes way beyond the 7th of October. Way way beyond!
