We just basically live in constant fear if a missile goes off. The sound of the sirens by itself is loud and then the ground starts shaking, which again traumatizes the kids. We have several in our neighborhood and a few of my cousins there. The kids are literally, I could see their faces change. They're no longer smiling. They know things like that. I cannot imagine kids growing up having this in their memory when they're like five years old. Once you hear that noise, your brain just basically shuts down. So we'll pray for peace. That's all we can do.
