June 17, 2025 - Day 620 - The Sky

Two relationships have changed significantly in my life since the beginning of the war. 1. My relationship with my phone. 2. My relationship with the sky. You may not think about these two things very often, but after 620 days of war with Hamas and a 5th day of direct war with Iran... I do. On October 7, 2023 and for roughly 2 weeks after that my phone didn't leave my hand. I was constantly reading, scrolling, searching for some new information that would prove that this is all a dream. It was the most addicted to news, social media, and my phone in general that I have ever been in my life. I hated it, but I felt desperate to have it. I "needed to know" so therefore I had to have my phone with me 24/7. Then, for over 600 days I rode waves of desperately needing my cellphone to ones that made me want to throw it at a wall. The digital world is addicting and our brains have rewired to "need" all of that constant information coming at us all the time. Fo...

October 13, 2025 - Day 738 - Dear Girls

Dear Siikwan and Loowan, Today the last of our living hostages were returned home. It was a day filled with anticipation, nerves, and dare I say it... Hope. We've done our best to shield you from the atrocities of this war. To protect your innocence and keep you safe. Loowan, you were a baby when this all began. You barely turned one year old as the ground invasion was begining. Your innocence kept me grounded and my focus on you helped us discover your ASD. Discovering and learning with you has been both refreshing and has kept me focused (over focused?) on what's important. Siikwan, you were still 4 years old when the started. Slowly (but much faster than I would have liked) you learned about the words: war, soldier, sirens, rockets/missiles, kidnapped, and hostages. Words so heavy that you learned much earlier than you ever should have. So today as the hostages were released we watched hours of coverage. We learned of first phone calls to their fam...

June 15, 2025 - Day 618 - Heartbeat

My family is officially stuck in America. They were supposed to fly home after a two week trip this Monday, landing in Israel on Tuesday. The main airport in Tel Aviv has been evacuated since the wee hours of Friday morning. There is no way in or out (unless you're willing to travel through Jordan, which I am not). So they're there until the beginning of July. 😭 Because of their absence and my need to be busy I asked to be involved with the distance learning plan of my school. I found a way to busy myself enough throughout the day. Including planning a team meeting for this evening at 8:30. Not even 5 minutes into the meeting our phones went off with warnings that rockets were on the way. Ok.. nice seeing you, be with your families. Gnite. At 8:40 I let my dog go outside one more time and while standing with her in the yard saw the most indescribable sight in the sky. Like a super nova opening. A blast of color and light. No sound. I attempted to take a video, but it didn...
