Israel

I try not to watch too much of the news. It's too depressing to hear about all the violence that plagues our world. Our country is a complete disaster and the main city I live near has multiple homicides each and every night. It's just so gross. 

The world is falling apart and Israel is in an active war. Now I'm not about to get into my opinions about anything, but I can say that innocent civilians should not be targeted. They should not be dying. Babies should be safe. 

I work with people who live and work in Israel. Like, people I chat with almost every day.

And I'm channel surfing and landed on CNN. 

And I stopped in my tracks because I recognized my guy. It put everything into perspective for me. We've talked about our families, kids (he has 3 LITTLE kids at home in NYC). He's a captain in the Israeli Army. It's insane to think he just jumped on a plane and headed over there. 

And then I got his OOO when I had to send a note. If that doesn't make shit real. Holy fuck.
