To Anderson Cooper, With Love!
As we get ready for our trip to Israel tomorrow, let me first of all, thank all of you for your kind words of support, encouragement and good thoughts, which are more than appreciated by my husband and myself. Especially noteworthy are all the new Israeli voices I have heard from and met, via the internet, encouraging us to come, and thanking us for showing our support during these difficult times.
Amist the gun shots, rockets, the tanks and the blazes is one man, who has stood there, each and every day, for 28 days reporting about this crisis in the Middle East: Anderson Cooper. Equipped with his flap jacket, and often helmet, Mr. Cooper appears from both sides of the boarder, reporting the news, with his piercing blue eyes and cropped grey hair that stays in place even while the breezes surface. I must confess, as this revelation surfaced just today, that maybe I have a bit of a crush on this guy, who has risen to heroic measures in reporting on more than one occasion. Who among us can forget him out there with all the victims of Katrina, with his pleas for help, and voice of passion, often begging for help to come? When Hurricane Rita hit Texas, Cooper too, was there, being hit, slammed and knocked over by the blazing winds, yet nevertheless, he rose to the occasion and reported what was in front of him. Cooper has demonstrated to me that he is tenacious and fearless, a positive man who truly cares about getting the job done. My hat is off to you Mr. Cooper, especially during these trying times. Your face and words have been a source of strength and comfort to so many who turn on CNN each and every day.
That being said, one must not forget all the soldiers who are out there exhausted, fighting and risking their own lives. Each and every day, I pray for them, those who fight, and put their lives on the line, who care enough about the State of Israel to take action and be part of the solution rather than the problem...May you all return home safely.
It is unlikely that I will have computer access where I will be, but if so, I will jot a note about our trip, what we see, and where we are going.....
To be continued when I return.....
Thank you for your minds...
