I had fallen in love. and so madly. that for many years the whole world ceased to exist for me. Life itself became meaningless. if he were not to be in it. But he was planning to leave. and by the time we understood that we could not manage without each other. he already had an exit visa for Israel on his hands. Naturally. the question of whether to leave or not became resolved of its own accord for our family. I was hoping that they would wait for us. that there would be no need to go through the torment of separation. but he was not leaving alone. and his parents did not want to postpone their departure for a single day. It wasnt hard to understand theman elder son and an only. dearly loved grandson were expecting them in San Francisco. They thought that their parental feelings did not even need to be compared to what we felt. We were supplied with part of the money essential for emigration. it was decided that we would immediately submit our application for exit visas. and that in halfayear at the most all our sufferings will be over. Had we known then that that halfayear would turn into six long. tormenting years replete with collapsed hopes. unfulfilled wishes. twisted love . . . For six years I struggled. for six years he waited.
