Sunset in Gaza. "Take me to the beach at sunset, so I may hear what the beach says; when it returns to itself quietly, calmy." -Mahmud Darwish Posted by Hello

Dear Laila,

I really enjoy your blog and the stories in Al-Jazeera.

I was sorry to see that the psychologist Mohammad from Gaza opted to quit blogging for the Jerusalem Post, and if they are still looking for a blogger from Gaza, I wish that you could do it. I think it's really important to have a forum like that.

It is great that your stories are reaching a wide audience.

Best from umkahlil to umyusef

Sorry for the misspelling of your son's name.

hello ~

I just checked your blog again to see if the interview I mention below was with you (it was) and I'm delighted to see your new photos and your description of a day at the beach, Gaza style.

I just found your interview with CKUT radio about the invasion of Jabaliya last year which my friend Mohammed Omer was in the middle of, photographing and reporting. It was a terrifying time and I'm grateful that he was physically unharmed. His report is sickening (be prepared).

In any case, thank you for this blog. It's a refreshing change to read about every day life during a more "peaceful" time.

Best wishes for you and your son and your family.

p.s. Umkahlil, thanks for the update about the psychologist Mohammed quitting his Jerusalem Post blog project. Honestly I'm not surprised — people were not asking questions about how to deal with traumatized families, they wanted him to "reprogram terrorists".

I hope they find another blogger for the project...
I'd vote for you, Laila!
