Yesterday was the 7th October 2025.
It is my mothers 84th birthday.
It is the birthday of The Arch.
It is 2 years since the carnage began on Gaza by Israel.
We joined a beautiful group of people on the beach.
Families with children and babies.
Muslims and Christ followers and atheists and everyone in between.
Old and young alike.
Flags and song joined us.
Sprang from us.
We joined to mark this day .
We shared our pain and rage.
We clung to one another as we wept and screamed and then hugged.
The two Muslim aunties and I held each other close and long.
Not a word was spoken.
None were necessary.
October the 7th may fade one day but we will never, ever forget what Israel has done to the Palestinian people. Never.
