I want to look into the face of little Jaffa and be able to promise her a future free of the fear of being killed. I want to see the boys playing in the street without danger. I want to return to the fine details of my everyday life: to go to the café with friends, to read a book quietly in silence, to sit up late watching a movie with Hanna, to wake up in the morning not thinking, “Who has survived the night?”
