Across the World

Tonight, I decided to quickly check the news before bed, having no idea what awaited me. Since my recent posts, things in Israel have been "quiet."  But today, all that changed.

On Wednesday morning, a religious couple took their daughter to the Western Wall for the first time. They had been married for some time, and she was their miracle baby--and they had dreamed of taking her to this, the holiest place in the world for Jews. On their way home, a Hamas operative drove his car into a crowd of people, the baby girl went flying, and died later on from her injuries. She was buried Wednesday night.

Although I don't mention it that often anymore, I too, waited a long time to have my babies. And I too, was blessed with a beautiful, sweet baby girl. So I see myself in these people, and cannot even imagine their loss. 

This blog post expresses exactly how I feel. 

May G-d bring us peace now, today.
