To My Baba, on Father’s Day
Like so many Palestinians looking for a place to plant roots and call home, my father searched for that all his life. Home for him was an elusive notion but always within reach. Having a safe haven for his family was a given but making it resemble the ‘B’lad’ (homeland) was another challenge. In honor of this Father’s Day, I will be making Knafeh and remembering the man who instilled in me pride in my heritage and everlasting love and yearning for Palestine.
