My daughter came back from London this morning. As usual my worries were in vain and everything is fine. Due to the nature of her work she had two security guards there and she even enjoyed the streets of London which she loves so much.
Here the girl enjoys the sweets and perfumes that her mother brought.
Luckily for us there is still a ceasefire and our lives are going on like life anywhere else in the world, more or less.
The television is still on since six in the morning and we are following the return of the captives to Gaza. In the meantime, children and mothers and grandmothers who were kidnapped on Saturday morning are being returned, they were taken barefoot and with their pyjamas. Now on TV the daughter of one of the grandmothers)84( who was returned yesterday, she is in danger of life because for 54 days she did not receive her medication. Her son met with the representatives of the Red Cross and gave them the medicines but they never reached her, The four-year-old girl Abigail also returned yesterday from captivity in Gaza. She was there alone because her parents were murdered in their home. She fled to the neighbors' house and was taken prisoner with the mother and the three children of the neighbors, ages 4, 10 and 9. Abigail also has Irish citizenship. The Prime Minister of Ireland talked about her but was unable to tell the truth. He said "Abigail got lost and came back". This tells the whole story of hypocrisy and the inability to look reality in the eyes and tell the truth. The children's hospitals that were preparing to receive the captive children who lived for 54 days in dark tunnels in Gaza tried to learn in advance how to receive them but were unable to find any previous experience in the world for such a case. They established a department that is like a hotel and do everything for the children who return. They even brought the pets there that the kids missed so much. Unfortunately not all pets survived, they also shot dogs and cats. In an hour the additional list of the children who will return today will be published, we all hope that the nine-month-old baby will also be among them.
The day after tomorrow or tomorrow the ceasefire will end. No one really knows what will happen here.
I read that the ceasefire may continue if both sides keep exchanging hostages. I hope so.
ReplyDeleteHopefully you are right anon. Perhaps you are being a good Christian. I hope so. It seems that you are really stretching though. And to comment on someone es blog that is living through a truly horrific reality I think you need to ask yourself why. Also you should perhaps give yourself some Classical education. I suggest starting by reading Aristotle
ReplyDeleteThe Israeli captives are babies, children, grandparents. There are also young people who spent time at the party and soldiers who were kidnapped.
ReplyDeleteTo Anonymous from Ireland, I deleted your comment because I don't have the mental strength right now for criticism and arguments.
ReplyDeleteI note that my comment was deleted, how strange, does the truth about the Bible hurt? Thank you, yes, I can confirm that I am a good Christian. As a Greek, I thank you for suggesting my reading the classics, however having studied all to Masters Degree level, I am very much aware and in tune withand the works of those of my native scholars. Have a good day. Alexesis
ReplyDeleteYet you didn’t bring up a single quote. How odd.
DeleteAs far as your fears of London were concerned it is another example of don't believe everything you see in the media. I am glad your daughter enjoyed herself whilst there.
ReplyDeleteMy fears were not from the media, friends from London said that they do not send the children to school.
DeleteMy thoughts and fervent prayers are with you and all of your family. May peace win out.
ReplyDeleteThank you Margo.
DeleteHoping your people keep on returning.
ReplyDeleteYour daughters return with all those goodies must have brought a little joy
Tonight there is a list of 11 children and two mothers. Probably children without their mothers.
DeleteGosh, that is quite an impressive haul of London treats. I am sure they will all be enjoyed.
ReplyDeleteMost things are also here but when they come from London they have a different taste.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful your daughter returned from London. I hope all the kidnapped people are returned safely and that Hamas is rooted out of there now and in the long term. Blessings to you and your family.
ReplyDeleteThank you Terra.
DeleteI wonder if your daughter was in London to witness this last weekend's huge and very peaceful pro-Israel rally? A very different affair to those rallies by the pro-Palestinians.
ReplyDeleteShe heard about it but could not see. She was busy. It certainly warms the heart in such difficult times for us and because of the other wave that is sweeping the world now.
ReplyDeleteOther wave ?
DeleteVery happy to read you again. I didn't realize this was the week you'd be taking care of your grandchildren.Yours , Catherine.
ReplyDeleteI'm home now, enjoying a few days of peace. Maybe in two days it won't be quiet here again.
DeleteHostages being released are fortunate but what about all the others? I can't imagine how hard life is as a hostage. Children held hostage is heartbreaking. Is there any hope of the ceasefire being extended and more people released? The pause, hopefully gives leaders time to rethink the war, hardship on innocent people and start planning for peace. I am glad to hear your daughter's trip to London was fine. All the treats she brought back look fantastic. Children love a nice surprise. The next time she travels to London, could she make it a family trip and add a week for exploring/shopping London? I bet you and your granddaughter would have great fun in London.
ReplyDeleteThere are still children held captive there. A nine-month-old baby and a two-year-old boy. In the last few hours they are talking about the fact that they may not be alive anymore. Later I might write a post about the children who returned and in what terrible condition they are.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter went with my granddaughter a few months ago to London. Someone has to stay with the other two children and the dogs, and that's me of course..
