The rusty gates squeaked as I opened them and it reminded me
of my days here as a kid. Those were the happiest days of my life. Life was simple
and we were living happily when the war changed it all. I shudder to think
about that cold night when we ran for our lives leaving behind all that we
owned. Life went on and things became normal again but all my life I missed
this place which I never thought I would visit again. But now when I stand at
the gates, I feel welcome. I feel at home.

Dear Reema,
Home is where the heart is. It seems that her heart has found its way home.
Shalom,

I've changed so many homes, growing up and even now, creating memories from one city to another. But there's always this one special place that tugs at your hear.
