MICHAL SHOR. Such an important and wonderful part of our past.

If you have been following our adventures then you know we have been trying to reconnect with our Hebrew tutor, Michal Shor.  She was the woman that we hired to come to our home 5 days a week and teach Ron, Jaxon, Aubrey and sometimes Ashley (she was only six) to speak Hebrew.  We enrolled out kids in the neighboring Hebrew school where only Hebrew was spoken.

We had gone to her flat four different times and never got an answer.  We wondered if she was still living here in Jerusalem.

Then one day last week we decided to try it again.  We rang once, twice, three times with no answer.  We started to walk away and then I told Ron ring her apt. one last time.

"Ken", the word for "Yes" in Hebrew, we heard someone say on the intercom.  

We recognized that voice,  It was Michal.  She exclaimed over and over and couldn't believe we found her let alone that we were even in Jerusalem.  We had sent her notes and cards to her for many years but then lost track of each other.

We spent the next 2 hours at her house catching up, showing her pictures of our kids, and letting her stroke our faces in sheer amazement that we came to see her.  

She is 74 now but she has not aged a single day since we saw her last.  We invited her to dinner and I made banana bread as I remembered 20 yrs. ago she couldn't believe I made bread using bananas.  She couldn't believe it then and couldn't believe it now that I remembered all those years.

This time with her reminded me and I want to remind you all to 

MAKE EVERY MOMENT A MEMORY!
