There is no ‘I‘ in ‘we’.
My biggest fear, as a woman, mother, and wife, is to suddenly find myself alone in the world. Sometimes I feel that if I allow myself to crash - even for a second - the whole world will come tumbling down around me. It’s like I’m Atlas, holding the Earth up on my shoulders.
Yehuda always says that I am the only person in this world who can either lift him up or knock him down, because my opinion is the only one that matters to him. I feel exactly the same way about him.
We are in constant pursuit of the goals we have set for ourselves, and sometimes I get so damn tired of being so strong all the time. I'm tired to be the one that have all the answers, I'm tired of feeling that I'm the only one that holds everything together.
Neither of us has the option of giving up the fight. You get up and you fight for another day. And tomorrow you do it all over again.
Because I need you next to me.
We are the only ones who can cross the finish line – and we do it together, or not at all.

That’s beautiful! Thank you for your beautiful words and it’s totally true. Sometimes our better half’s have one of the biggest rolls in our life. I feel like with one word he can make me the happiest or the saddest person in the world. I’ve learned that, I am one, I am valuable, I need to be strong for me so I can be strong for my family and that it’s ok to feel sad, mad, stress, happy and crazy sometimes 😁 we are all humans at the end
