You definitely deserve it! Kol hakavod!<br /><br />I have been following your blog for some time now and even though I don't know you, I feel very proud of all your achievements thus far and of all the ones you are yet to achieve. <br /><br />I completely understand where you are coming from, in terms of desperately wanting to make aliya and join the army, as I know it isn't easy at all and it isn't everyone's cup of tea, but for me personally, I have wanted do so for many years now and hopefully will do so in the very near future.<br /><br />Also, you don't have the easiest of backgrounds to assist you in overcoming the challenges, that you have yet already brilliantly overcome, for example: being so young (not having gone to uni); basically being drafted by yourself, with no one else that you know in your kita; struggling with the hebrew and culture (being in a completely foreign land) and of course being far away from the family who you love and miss so much (especially with your father unfortunately and sadly being severely disabled with multiple sclerosis). You are a very impressive and strong (in character and I am sure physically by now, as well), young man!<br /><br />I just want to reiterate how proud I am of you and that I hopefully shall be following you and your life choices (in terms of making aliya and joining the army, I hope to enlist in nachal), by march next year, which will probably mean I will be a pazamnik 23 year old by the time I have reached my yom giyus, aval ze ma she yesh! I suppose we all have our challenges!<br /><br />Anyway, tishmor al atsmecha ve tihiye bari, mikol halev, xxxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
