In recent days, we have been 30 adults in the neighborhood shelter and 15 children, the oldest of whom is 8 years old and the youngest is a one-month-old baby. She has been to the shelter more than ten times. Sometimes at three in the morning and sometimes at more reasonable times. She is still quiet and sleeping even during the alarms. More and more people are coming to the shelter because of the difficult images on TV of families who entered the protected room and after the alarm, found themselves in rubble and collapsed buildings. There is supposedly a ceasefire now, but no one believes anyone.
I am still on alert all the time with my iPhone with me everywhere, not to miss a single alert. I have a headache, I haven't had one in years, I think it's mostly because of the debates on blogs with people who have something to say. I need to learn to ignore it.
Can you use your mobile phone in the shelters? You would want to ensure that the rest of the family are alive and safe, and they would want to hear your voice.
ReplyDeleteLuckily, we can use phones in the shelter, there is reception and there is internet. We receive all the alerts on our phones, as well as the time to leave the shelter when there is no longer any danger, at that moment.
DeleteI am not surprised that you have a headache with all that stress and fear.
ReplyDeleteWhatever those people online may think of the actions of the decision makers in charge, it doesn't mean that the suffering of the ordinary person, on both sides, should be denigrated.
I think most of us here want to see an end to it all for all your sakes.
Well said, JayCee.
DeleteYes, we all want peace.
ReplyDeleteArguing on socmedia is almost useless, but we give in and try sometimes.
ReplyDeleteIs there really a ceasefire. I guess you'll know in the next few hours. Ceasefire at least gives you breathing space. Hoping you can have a little peace
ReplyDeleteKeeping up with all the changes is exhausting for you all.
ReplyDeleteHugs to you and yours. xx
ReplyDeleteIt’s a heavy kind of strength to carry, especially with little ones around. I hope you find moments to rest amid it all.
