My uncle Khader Abu Odeh was martyred in the sea of Gaza, searching for his daily bread. He was the breadwinner for his family and his orphaned grandchildren after they lost their fathers... Your separation is difficult, uncle. May God give us patience to bear your loss. May God reward us greatly for you. We only say what pleases our Lord. To God we belong and to Him we shall return.

خالي خضر أبو عودة يرتقي شهيدا في عرض بحر غزة باحثا عن قوت يومه . وهو معيل لأسرته ولأطفال أحفاده اليتامى بعد فقدهم آبائهم ...
فراقك صعب يا خال .. ربنا يصبرنا على فراقك ..
وعظم الله أجرنا بك ..
ولا نقول الا ما يرضي ربنا ..
إنا لله وإنا اليه راجعون
