Hello,

You don't know me. I follow you initially for KP. I am now following you as well for what is happening in Israel. I don't live anywhere near you, I am not Jewish nor Muslim. But I care deeply, I am heartbroken by everything that is happening in Israel, I can't stop thinking about all the persons suffering. As a mum, I am genuinely distraught by what is happening to so many families.

Thank you for keeping on posting, for sharing about your life. I hope you and your loved ones will be as ok as you can be under these circumstances.

I don't know why I am writing to you. It's not going to make any difference, I know. I guess I just wanted you to know that whatever you are posting, people are reading. People are with you with all their hearts and their thoughts and prayers. And I am one of those people.

Sending you virtual hugs and so so much love.

Maggie

Awwww, lovely to get to know you, Maggie! *hugs*

Aaaah, I'm so happy that you started following me for KP, but that you also look at this blog and see a human being behind it. That's not a given on this site. Thank you SO MUCH for caring!

I feel you. My whole life, I've loved kids. Never mattered to me which group of people they happened to be born into, kids are the most adorable little humans, and when they smile at you, or open up their world to you, it is the most beautiful thing ever. So obviously, I always empathized with parents despite not being one myself. But I never really understood, I couldn't understand, what it means to be a parent until I went through my sister's pregnancy with her, until I was a part of this emotional journey that requires so much almost every waking second. A mother's love is even more than I thought it was, and so I've been watching the news and listening to the testimonies of petrified parents, who desperately wanted, but couldn't, save their kids, with a particular kind of pain that I think only other parents can really understand. And I am grateful that there are parents out there who don't have to be Jewish in order to understand our pain.

Please know that you do make a difference! Every bit of kindness, every bit of humaneness, every bit of caring matters in this world, especially at a time when a lot of Jewish people are waking up to discover that friends, employees, elected officials and others around them do not give a crap about their physical or emotional well being. Thank you SO MUCH, I really don't know if I can explain how much it means to me that you wrote, and I am hugging you SO BIG, and sending you and yours all the love and hugs right back! You matter so much and I'm so grateful to you! xoxox
