I used to love vacations. I would get excited about going to hotels.
Today, even if they paid me, I would not go.
Only home. Only home.
I will never forget the stillbirth I experienced and all the hardships on the way to becoming a mother and expanding our family.
I had a stillbirth; the pain was unbearable. I miscarried twins in the sixth month, which was extremely difficult. I also had a baby girl who was born with a heart defect and passed away during surgery.
My life was not easy. I went through very difficult and painful experiences that left a scar on my heart, but I continued living.
Today I devote myself to my wonderful grandchildren and do everything for them.
Since October 7, I have been on a long journey of displacement. At first, I was in my own home with my sister-in-law. I discovered everything that had happened when I woke up on the morning of Sukkot and saw that she had turned on the television.
From my home, I went to Netanya, and after two weeks in Netanya, I arrived here at the hotel.
When I arrived, I began to cry nonstop. I had to let it all out.
It is terrible to be taken out of my home. Now, after more than a year here, I do not know how I will return to my home. I have no sense of security in my own house — in the home that was meant to protect me.
I have a large house, but I do not feel safe in it. I will return home only when I have no choice and when I am promised that I will not go through what we have been through.
But who can promise such a thing?
My husband passed away from liver disease at the age of 55 — so young. I was left alone and did not want to remarry.
I didn’t want to go to coffee, and I didn’t want to meet new people. I had one husband whom I loved very much, and that is it. I do not need a replacement.
This is what life wanted. I accept it.
We had a project for grandparents at the school, and I loved being with the children. I would go out with my grandchildren as a volunteer grandmother, travel with them, play and sing with them, go to “Golda” with my grandson, and buy ice cream for everyone.
I give from my whole heart and soul.
Grandchildren are life.
