Last night at 3:30 tonight at 2:11. And again the run to the shelter and the meeting with the neighbors, the children and the dog Bella.
Like the previous times, for some reason I wake up five minutes before the alarm, I know it will come and wait. Now I also know what the scary sounds of the American interceptor missiles sound like, called ahaad or something like that, they sound terrible but are very helpful against the Houthi ballistic missiles. Ten minutes in the shelter until you hear the sounds of explosions, and then two hours in bed until I fall asleep again, if at all.
Still no end in sight?
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear you had another midnight alarm. Your nerves must be always on edge, looking out for the next attack. Thank goodness you have a shelter to run too, and those interceptors.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter in law says they have been totally safe and I shouldn't worry. But when my husband got back to Australia on Friday, he finally admitted that there were three separate alarms that pushed them into the safe room in the basement. He didn't want to worry me, but I am as an anxious as ever before.
ReplyDeleteI can wish you and the family only total safety in the New Year,
Sorry about the continuing attacks.
ReplyDeleteIt's interesting that you waken even before the alarm. I wonder if you're perceiving something, a subtle sound or vibration, that tells you it's coming.
ReplyDeleteIt must be so scary to live like that. Wish something would happen to bring peace and security back. Prayers are with you.
ReplyDeleteThis blog is Yael's place of refuge where she can speak freely, much like the neighborhood shelter from the ballistic missiles. Yael doesn't need me to stand up for her, but I can't remain silent when a commenter attacks her in the way that commenter just did.
ReplyDeleteGood for you am,it

Horrible. It's so easy to press a button hundreds of miles away, and not think of the consequences. xx
