Two Years Ago Today...

I couldn't stop crying.

My mother was the easiest to say "Goodbye" to because she was joining us soon.

We got off the plane to greet the rest of our lives.

We all said the Bracha "Shehechiyanu" to honor the Mitzvah of Yishuv Eretz Yisrael.

We were greeted by smiling, crying family and friends.

We bunked in at our family's place for a while, making a HUGE mess.

We had no idea a war was about to start.

We had no idea we were already in the middle of a completely different kind of war.

Our apartment was hard to find and filthy and lavishly decorated by friends.

Our lift was delayed by one week and two days.

We never imagined living here would be so fulfilling.
