To my friends in Gaza

Submitted by Ridgely Fuller on Wed, 07/06/2011 - 9:42am.

Ridgely Fuller Hi, Mustafa and Eman and all my other beloved Palestinian friends in Gaza,

I am sitting at this computer in the hotel, 7am on the day I leave Greece, writing my last email. Tears are running down my face as I can't tell you how deeply disappointed I am not be seeing you this time around in Gaza. We really, really tried. Our 'mailboat', crew and all of us were so prepared and eager with thousands of letters of love and solidarity. The minutes that we spent freed from the dock were so glorious; being part of the happiest collection of people one can ever imagine.

What I do want you to know:
