It’s been over a month now that I’ve been searching for you.
Over a month that I’ve been searching for you.
Over a month that it hurts just to breathe.

that moment when doubt became certainty.
More than a month has passed.

The text that follows offers an authentic glimpse into his experience — a stream of third-person reflections, written in a style that helped him process his time in the kibbutz.
