Avital,
Every person is like a whole book.
Sometimes fascinating and sometimes
boring.
Sometimes short or tall, sometimes
black and terrifying and sometimes pink.
But your book was so fascinating,
about desperate struggles and everlasting bravery, about sweet dreams and
about the future, and on things you always wanted. But your book was so
short and now without you is so sad and bitter, because suddenly there
was a new chapter, whose name illness.
This you suddenly find out, and
then struggling, trying to continue for another page even when you knew
everything was lost, and we all were around you, rooting you on in your
race. We didn’t know how to help, and only tried to keep in touch over
and over again. But every thing has past, is over, and finished.
I wrote you this song so I would
never forget you, but to continue smiling. And I hope I will have the power
to do it.
From your cousin Bat-Chen
now already big- 10 years old.
