oineone you used to play in the streets w ith and wondering, if next year, it<br />

you. And 1 thought o f how I had lived in Israel when I was four and that I<br />

never had known why my parents chose to raise their children in the US. And now<br />

stones, holding a child in one hand and clutching m y husband with the other, silently<br />

pleading with G-d, hoping that next year, I will still be holding onto them and that it<br />

w on’t be me, putting flowers on another grave.<br />
