Reflection… My parents were married for 55 years. One morning, my mom was going downstairs to make dad breakfast, she had a heart attack and fell. My father picked her up as best he could and almost dragged her into the truck. At full speed, without respecting traffic lights, he drove her to the hospital.

1. Reflection…
My parents were married for 55 years. One morning, my mom was going downstairs to
make dad breakfast, she had a heart attack and fell. My father picked her up as best he
could and almost dragged her into the truck. At full speed, without respecting traffic lights,
he drove her to the hospital.
When he arrived, unfortunately, she was no longer with us.
During the funeral, my father did not speak; his gaze was lost. He hardly cried.
That night, his children joined him. In an atmosphere of pain and nostalgia, we remembered
beautiful anecdotes and he asked my brother, a theologian, to tell him where Mom would
be at that moment. My brother began to talk about life after death, and guesses as to how
and where she would be.
My father listened carefully. Suddenly he asked us to take him to the cemetery.
Dad!" we replied, "it's 11 at night, we can't go to the cemetery right now!"
He raised his voice, and with a glazed look he said:
"Don't argue with me, please don't argue with the man who just lost his wife of 55 years."
There was a moment of respectful silence, we didn't argue anymore. We went to the
cemetery, we asked the night watchman for permission. With a flashlight, we reached the
tomb. My father caressed her, prayed, and told his children, who watched the scene moved:
"It was 55 years... you know? No one can talk about true love if they have no idea what it's
like to share life with a woman."
He paused and wiped his face. "She and I, we were together in that crisis. I changed jobs ..."
he continued. "We packed up when we sold the house and moved out of town. We shared
the joy of seeing our children finish their careers, we mourned the departure of loved ones
side by side, we prayed together in the waiting room of some hospitals, we support each
other in pain, we hug each Christmas, and we forgive our mistakes...
Children, now it's gone, and I'm happy, do you know why?
Because she left before me. She didn't have to go through the agony and pain of burying
me, of being left alone after my departure. I will be the one to go through that, and I thank
God. I love her so much that I wouldn't have liked her to suffer..."
When my father finished speaking, my brothers and I had tears streaming down our faces.
We hugged him, and he comforted us, "It's okay, we can go home, it's been a good day."

2. That night I understood what true love is; It is far from romanticism, it does not have much
to do with eroticism, or with sex, rather it is linked to work, to complement, to care and,
above all, to the true love that two really committed people profess ".
Peace in your hearts.
Love and Light.

4. What is the best random conversation you overheard?
I was at the bus stop when an old couple sat beside me.
Husband: “Dear, did you bring any cash?”
Wife: “I tucked some money in your shirt pocket.”
Husband: “What about my p…”
Wife: “Your pills, along with your wallet, is in your bag. I also put a small umbrella just in
case it rains.”
Husband: “Now how do you know what I am going to say?”
She snorted and replied: “We have been married for nearly fifty years, young man.”
The old man chuckled and she lay on his shoulder.
I melted internally that moment.

5. POISON THAT KILLS MEN
Once upon a time a beautiful girl got tired of her marriage life and wanted to murder her
spouse.
One morning she ran to her mother and say to her " mother, I am tired of my husband I can
no longer support his nonsense. I want to kill him but I am afraid Law of the land will hold
me responsible, can you please help me mother?"
The mother answered:
- Yes my daughter I can help you, but, there is a little task attached.
The daughter asked "what task? I am willing and ready to assume any task attached in order
to get him out"
OK, said the mother,
1..You will have to make peace with him, so that no one will suspect you when he is dead.
2.. You will have to beautify yourself in order to look young and attractive to him
3.. You have to take good care of him and be very nice and appreciative to him
4.. You have to be patient, loving and less jealous, have more listening ears, be more
respectful and obedient
5. Spend your money for him and don’t get angry even when he rto give you money for
whatever
6. Don’t raise your voice against but encourage Peace and love so that you will never be
suspected when he must have died.
Can you do all of that?
Asked the mother.
Yes i can. She replied
OK, said the mother.
Take this powder and pour a bit in his every day meal, it will slowly kill him.
After 30 days the lady came back to her mother and said.

6. Mother, I have no intention of killing my husband again. As of now I have grown to love him
because he has completely changed, he is now a very sweet husband than I ever imagined.
What can i do to stop the poison from killing him?
Please help me mother.
She pleaded in a sorrowful tone.
The mother answered;
Do not worry my daughter. What I gave you the other day was just Tumeric Powder. It will
never kill him.
In reality, you were the poison that was slowly killing your husband with tension and
dispassion.
It was when you started loving, honouring and cherishing him that you saw him change to a
nice and sweet husband.
Men are not really wicked, but our way of relating with them determines their responses
and feelings towards us.
Women if you can only show respect, dedication, love, care and commitment to your
husband he will 100% be there for you. ❤️

8. At the end of WWII, when the Jews who survived the Holocaust came home to the
very places where many turned them in to the Nazis, what did they do?
The plight of the Jews did not end in 1945- it continued on.
There were about 300,000 Jews that survived the camps, death marches, and atrocities.
Think about what they faced even after the Holocaust ended.
1. Health: Most of these people were severely malnourished, extremely sick, and
badly traumatized. They had to recoup which could take months or even years.
Many died in this process
2. Loss: Once the survivors got healthy they had to meet a world where their entire
families had been exterminated. Their wives, siblings, parents, and children were
likely gone. Many were the sole surviving members of their family
3. Wealth: In Eastern Europe, the Nazis had seized Jewish bank accounts, homes, and
belongings. These people didn’t have a penny to their name or a shirt on their
back.

9. Jews from Western Europe often returned home. The Jewish communities of the West still
existed (though they were diminished) and so many of the survivors from places like France
or Belgium were able to return to their homes.
 Note that it was hardly perfect. Many found their homes being lived in by new
tenants who took over their property. It was complex and difficult for them to say
the least
Jews from Eastern Europe had it tougher. When they tried to return home they often found
that their homes were in someone else’s possession or had been looted.
Worse yet the entire Jewish community in Eastern Europe had been eradicated. 90% of the
Jews in Poland had been killed and in other Eastern European nations, the Nazis had
declared them “Jewish-free”.
These survivors found themselves broke, homeless, and isolated with no community to call
on for support. Even worse still many faced continued violence and anti-semitism.
So 250,000 Jewish survivors ended up in allied “displaced person camps”. Ironically these
camps were rather primitive at first- though nothing even remotely like the Holocaust.
Sadly these camps were often home to ex-Nazis and even camp guards, meaning these
survivors were now living next door to their tormentors. This is where most of the Holocaust
survivors lived for years (until the late 1940s).
Eventually, though the displaced survivors found new homes.

10.  136,000 immigrated to Israel and began new lives there
 80,000 immigrated to America
 30,000 immigrated to various nations like Canada, Mexico, Argentina, parts of Asia,
and even parts of Europe
For these 250,000 traumatized survivors they had to start their lives from scratch with the
memories and scars of what had happened to them always fresh in their minds. I cannot
imagine the pain or the difficulty they faced.

11. What are some lesser known facts about Israel?
 Israel is the only country in the world where women can freely move with
machine guns in their back. It is interesting to watch these beautiful alpha
females being armed. It is because the military training is compulsory for both
the men and women.

13.  Israeli bank notes have Braille on them so that the blind or the visually impaired
people can easily identify them.
 About 93 percent of Israeli homes use solar energy for water heating which is
the highest percentage of solar energy used for household purpose in the world.

14.  Israel has the highest number of museums per capita in the world.
 Israel was the first country to ban underweight models.

15.  The cell phone was developed in Israel.It was at Motorola's Israel R&D center
that Israeli engineers first developed original cell-phone technology. Most of the
technology in your mobile phone can be traced back to Israeli engineering.

16.  Voicemail technology was developed in Israel.From voice
components developed for combat systems, an Israeli company called Efrat
Systems created voicemail; eventually it became Comverse, one of the
largest voicemail companies in the world today.

17.  The first antivirus software for computers was created in Israel in 1979.

18.  The first electric hair remover (epilator), was created in Israel.The first type of
epilator was the original Epilady released in Israel, and manufactured by Mepro, in
kibbutz Hagoshrim in 1986.

19.  Israel is so small, you can run through it from west to east in two hours and
from top to bottom in nine hours.

20.  Israel is ranked first place in the world in the survival of cancer patients.
