Relationship with the Muslim neighbour and meeting her again

So why did I speak (the) Muslim (Baghdadi dialect)? I’m telling you I spoke Muslim. From those friends…our neighbours. They were Muslims. So I grew up with them. I didn’t have a family. In relation to me, the mother…of those Muslim friends of ours…in relation to me, she was like my grandmother. As in, I called her “big mother”. Like “my grandma”. Because…my real grandma - as in my grandmother - was in Israel. So this was my grandmother. The Muslim woman was my grandmother, or my grandmother, or grandmother…nana (lists multiple names in multiple languages for grandmothers). All those names that people call grandmothers. They had three children. One was a police manager, the one I speak about, the police manager was […]. The second one became a doctor. And the third one travelled - went abroad. He went to Germany. Later, the one who was a doctor - a doctor - went to Sweden. And the oldest of their (children), the manager in the police, took his mother and went to Sweden. The relationship (between us) was cut. We are talking about the (19)60s. (19)65, 66 etc. And…they left. They came back…I don’t know…I don’t remember. He came back in about (19)70. This one […] who was the police manager. And eventually we left Iraq and went to Israel. And they…(went to) Germany, Sweden, we don’t know where. Okay? One day, in (19)87, (19)87, my mother got a phone call. My mother (was) here, in Petah Tikva. A phone call. (The person on the phone) said to her, “are you the Basson family?”. She said to him, “yes”. (It was) someone Israeli (on the phone). (He asked,) “Are you the Basson family?”. She said, “yes”. He said, “there’s someone named…Melhem Daoud”. They are from the El-Ani family. The Ani family. My mother didn’t (understand). (The person said,) ”He is looking for you. He is looking for you”. My mother was scared for a moment. Who is this Melhem Daoud? Then she said to herself, “I’m in Israel…why would I be scared?”. She said to him, “okay. Give him our phone number.” (The person on the phone said,” “This Melhem Daoud is looking for you.” Who is Melhem Daoud? He is the youngest childhood of theirs…of that family. My mother…gave him the phone (number). Ten minutes later, (the phone rang and it was) this Melhem.” He said to her, “Umm Khedher? I am Melhem Daoud. Melhem Daoud El-Ani!” He said to her, “I was the…I’ve been searching for you for ten years”. This Muslim family lived in…the son in Germany was looking for us. He said to them, “there’s a man named Salim el Basson and he was a journalist”. To every Israeli who arrived in Germany, he would approach and say “do you know this family? Do you know this family?”. I will explain it to you later if you didn’t understand. I’ll tell you in English what I said. This is the family…now I’ve found you and such. We…my mother came to England. I and my mother and my sisters, all of us, went to see them. And the old mother, the one I called grandmother, was still alive. She remained alive. So this…we met them, I mean, after all those years. We met them.
