It's hard to think that it's been a almost a week since this started, but also hard to think that it's only been a week because I feel like I have almost no memory of the time before, it seems like another lifetime. We are not the people we were last Friday. I don't think we will ever again be the people that we were last Friday. In the middle of all the bleak news we heard this week that DH's family from a kibbutz near the Gaza border were safe. The kibbutz security volunteers were able to fend off the terrorists who attacked their community for many hours until help could arrive, the army eventually getting through and evacuating the residents out of the battle zone. Their kibbutz suffered damage and even as they are safe now, being hosted in quieter areas, their beloved kibbutz continues to be hit by rockets shot over the border. If and when they are able to return they have no idea what will be left of it.
