Yesterday I receive an email from my niece in Palestine telling me that my father was sick for about 2 weeks but that he's well now. I also get an IM from my friend Mansour who tells me that my father is very sick and that I should call him. He's been taken several times to hospitals in Ramallah who give him pills and tell him he should go home and lay in bed.
I called him and all he could say was that he was sick. Very sick and maybe it was time to die. My father is close to 80 years old and is not the strong man he once was.
"He's different from when you were here in August," Mansour tells me. "He's not the same."
