So lovely to read your update Rahma. Your trip to Israel sounded like heaven. Or, more correctly, once you arrived IN Israel! The travel always has dramas!

I love your son's profound understanding that he gained from the experience of being with your husband's family ❤️

The oranges, the gardening, the bathroom. The "just start". Thank you for sharing it all. And your sister, what a beautiful venture to start up! All the best to her!

Adored this piece as much as the last one. And the story of your weeding with a fork was amazing. Start before you're ready. God protect your family in Israel/Palestine.

Rahma- the part on the gloomy, dark days in London in February (it’s a far cry from the dark, near-suicidal Februarys I experienced (or escaped from) in London) echoed through my entire nervous system.

New to your writing and I already know I am going to enjoy it.

All the best,

Rana
