This morning while walking to school, a middle-aged Russian woman gave Raphaela and me a huge smile. She proceeded to come over to Raphaela and hug her and kiss her on the head, exclaiming what a grown-up beautiful girl she is, and blessing her for the new year.
I have no idea who this woman is, but thank you. (I hasten to add that this would only happen in Israel.)
Later in the morning while I was doing local errands before work, a random elderly gentleman asked me why my "little girl" wasn't with me. I explained that she had started first grade and was in fact in school. "Oh my," exclaimed the man, "I remember her when she was just a baby!" And he too proceeded to heap wonderful blessings upon my daughter.
Raphaela has her Hebrew birthday on Sunday, and she has been announcing it to the world. Apparently the Universe is joining the celebrations, and sending all these angels to add to joy of the day and the event.
