Even though I wasn’t born in Palestine, my mother fed me stories about her childhood and youth, and I grew up knowing that Palestine ran in my blood.
“I was conditioned to believe any boundary I wanted was a betrayal of her, so I stayed silent. Cooperative.”

“Without thinking, I say what I really mean. "I miss her."
He responds in kind. "So do I."
We're talking about two different people, but the sentiment is the same. He looks down at his hands, as if ashamed of the love he feels for someone he cannot have. I know what that agony is like. What an anchor it is. How it will eventually drown us both.”

My answer sounds foolish, like it comes from a child. I say it anyway. "This is my father's crown."
"But the crown is not your father," he says quickly, rising to his feet. In two strides he has me by the shoulder, and his voice softens, "It isn't your mother either. And it won't bring either of them back.”
