You ask how have we been for the last 2 weeks.
We've been fine. Nerve-wrecking, waking up most days in the middle of the night to bombs being intercepted or security notifications, fine.
We've been fine. Eyeballs on the screen, checking every 10 seconds for updates, fine. Full tank always, at the end of the day, fine. Carrying a passport and all the most important documents always with us, fine.
We've been fine. Moving the furniture away from windows, keeping each window 1 cm open, just in case, fine.
We've been fine, stretched between God, faith, nervous system regulation techniques, palpating the edge, what was that noise, a neighbor slamming the door or a new attack, fine.
We've been fine, ruptured between family and future, knowing home is here and leaving is not really something to consider, fine.
We've been fine, brushing it off when someone calls us courageous for venturing out of the house for work, fine. We're not courageous, we're reliable, we're dependable, we're not letting our freedom invaded by people with Messianic complexes decisions, fine.
We've been fine, washing the waves of grief off our faces, shaking out the palpable tension, hugging in the uncertainty, dancing off the long sighs and breathing in the long minutes before a "the threat has been eliminated and you can now go back to your normal life" message, fine.
We've been fine. How have you been?
