Take me back to Gaza!
The author visits Jerusalem for the second time in her life and shares her feelings when she sets foot in the city.
I was 5 years old when my family went to Jerusalem to visit my grandfather in the hospital. I remember how impressed I was by the green grass, the wide open spaces, the elevator — which I thought could take us from one place to another — and the sesame cookies that Jerusalem is famous for.
Just like thousands of Gazans, my grandfather worked at a hotel in Jerusalem, and he was diagnosed with heart disease that claimed his life 23 years later.
