Ibrahim Ayoub - M - I have always had great memories of Fih. I remember going there in the late 80's and early 90's for the volley ball games when I would visit Kilhat. I miss the Semaan family who lived close to the border between Fih and Kilhat, and always treated me well. Victor, Michel, Michline and Sylvia. If anyone knows them, please send them my regards and can someone update me on how they are doing. e-mail: ibes_21@yahoo.com I miss El Koura and this village is one of the reasons why.

Martيn Chada - M - With great pleasure I´ve found this website on my ancestors place of birth; and with some sadness to find out that there are no Chada/Shada living on Fih currently. I´ve seen pictures of the Saba familiy; specially Refaat, whom I´ve met about 20 years ago, when he came to Argentina and I would like to contact him, since he is my grandfather´s cousin. My e-mail is martin@chada.com.ar and I would be thrilled to have some news on my grandfather and great grand parents

Marwan Najjar - M - After a brief visit to Fih where my family and I celebrated our first Christmas in over a decade in our own home and home village, I can’t but describe this amazing striking feeling of patriotism and belonging to this lovely part of the world. This trip however was colored with a touch of sadness and surrounded with a halo of sorrow and a taste of little bitterness. I grew up with a bunch of kids playing in the old “baydar”( very few would probably remember),roaming in the "Saha" at night and studying under the olive trees( on occasions)or the heavily rooted old Oak tree in “Mar Semaan”. Many of these friends have vanished in the world of ambitions and achievements few of them dreaming to come back and settle in the old village while the overwhelming majority are planning to return back to their newly decorated homes in the US or Australia or Canada or Europe… Some of us, still unsettled in the Arabian Peninsula but planning to return, hopefully healthy enough to enjoy retirement under the shadow of the remaining oak trees in “Mar Semaan”. I am indeed emotional today as I remember my friend Saadeh Nakat. He accompanied me in the early 1970's in most of my adventures, along with Namroud (George Haydar), Bassam Haydar, Houssam Abdallah, Edward Haydar, George Semaan Haydar and Nicholas Nehme. Edward died at a very young age the day I was supposed to play the final of the northern Lebanon Volley ball championship in Al Mina. Some have gone to join the world of entrepreneurship in the US ( Bassam Haydar, Kamal karam, Houssam Abdallah) and some of these entrepreneurs came back(Wissam Abboud) and settled in Fih. Some are planning to retire soon (hopefully myself in couple of years) but some will never come back physically but their soul will remain in the shadow of the old Oak trees and the streets of this robust village. With Saade leaving us, I recalled the past in few seconds. I remember him standing tall in the Volley ball court, in his militant dress at “Saha”, in his smile, in his loud but persistent and courageously confident voice. I remember him at the passenger seat in a blue old VW then owned by Georgi Karam the morning of a summer in 1976 accompanying me to Daria to invite Nazih Lahoud’s team to paly in Fih… I remember him standing in front of his late uncle defending me and I surely remember him along with Namroud and Houssam, defending me in Amioun during a major dispute during a lovely clear evening debate…They know what it was about and am not going to elaborate further.. Who said that life is about money and cars and homes and properties… It is all about these few moments we cherish, remember and live ... these are the memories of our life when we were struggling to survive and living to struggle. To the soul of my own mother Mona who often used to call me with information that “your friends are here, stop studying”, to the soul of my friends Edward and Saadeh, I write these words of sympathy and empathy asking almighty God to keep them in heaven and peace and to their families I wish them long life full of joy and peace… Marwan

Sama S - F - هذا مقطع من كتاباتي... " عمر هربان"... مهدات لروح السيدة لطيفة حيدر و لروح الشاعر يعقوب عيسى ... عمر هربان بعد الوجع يا ترى شو في؟ و الكلام الساكت بعيون زعلاني ... بعده الوجع موجوع و الحزن موجود بعد الرحيل لطال ... و اليوم شو يللي صار؟ زاد الوجع ... زاد الفراغ ... و يا ريتها دموعي بتكفي ! و يا ريتها لحروف الساكته بتشفي... و بغيابك يا أمي تصفَّي كل ما مرق بالجو سرب طيور إلك مرسال بالسما ودي... و الحب شو يعني؟ شوية حنين , شوية أسى شوية تعتير شوية مشاعر طايشة, لك مين قال بتكفي؟ أمي لعلى صدرك ربينا و بإيدك الطاهرة محبة دني عطيتينا شو بقول لقلك؟ ... حروف الكلام وقفَها الزمان و بالذاكرة بعدك و كلما مرقت فراشة هاربة من الضو بتزكرك و كلما إجا نيسان و عبوابنا بدق بتزكرك قالوا اللغة قاموس و موسوعة كلام, برمتها تأوصفك ما كانت حروف اللغة تقدر توصفك و تحكي عن طهارة قلبك أو تنصفك الكسرة لغيت وجدها لرقتك و عجزت الضمات عن ضمتك و الفتحة ضاعت بلا بسمتك الام اللي بتلم و بتربي راحت ع غفلة عمر و بتكي و لمين بعد عم إشكي؟ العمر, رايح راكض بمشوار و بعدي يا عمر عم عد هالدراج مع كل درجة طلوع عم إكشف وراقك و مع كل يوم عم إكره المشوار ... خلَص بقى يا عمر ... تعبتني, و لوج أمي إشتقت و شو إشتقت للغمرة... خدني بقى يا سنونو طال الوقت و ضجرت لوحدي هون بالنطرة.... 2009-1-21
