"When they fell, we fell with them. When my brother fell I did not know I I would get up, and how I would get up. I felt like a part of me had been amputated - a hand, a leg, a heart. The shock was so large that I completely lost my sense of taste, and beyond that my taste for life. I know that this has happened to so many of you. A similar feeling came over my parents, and my younger brother. And yet, like so many of you, we found the strength to stand up. Years later my father said: 'Life is a mighty river that  propels you forward and gives you new strength.' This is how we all mourned deeply, got up, clung to life, and this too is what happened to our people."Mourning began with the traditional siren. As every year, Israelis stopped their daily errands to observe a moment of silence for Israel's fallen.
