Visiting the M family

MM called me on Sunday and Asked me if I can come over on Wed because on Thursday they were leaving to Turkey. So I took the car (I usually prefer to take the minibus and let the driver to work) and tried to follow the directions from imaps.co.il. The problem is the the signs are small and when I realized thatI have to turn left to road #4, I couldn't do it, so I just continued through the city and tried to navigate by memory of the general direction. Somehow I got there. The two daughters: IM and DM were there and DM laughed every time I called her sister by her childhood name: diti. I had a good time with them. They told me the development of their mom's illness and I felt the pain although they seem very well from the outside. They think that the death was a result of the aggressive treatment and not from the cancer. Anyway, DM is on her second year of agriculture studies and she got the idea while working in the Golan picking fruits. She said she liked it and thought: why not studying it. I think that it is a great profession because with the food shortage that starting to show in the world we will need people like her. Her dad, MM would like her to study economic like him. IM as you know a musician and she still didn't find her passion and everyone in the family is worrying about her. She is a excellent Clarinet player but didn't want to sign for any orchestra, although she said that she worked as a freelancer and was the busiest musician freelancer in Israel. But, she got tired of it and went to some general art school. After a year she left it because she felt it wasn't good. So, now when I was there she told her sis and dad that she enrolled in the Tel Aviv University to general Art because it is too late to enroll in the film division. She hopes to start there and to transfer later. Her dad and sis didn't like the idea. It seems that they don't trust her to stay there. You know, I think that if IM didn't have the comfort of a strong financial backing she might be more on some track. Any way they were saying that although the mom ZM was a very difficult person they really miss her. Idit your (Y, D & M) emails and might look for you on Facebook. She is playing in a very interesting band and she hopes that next time one of you will be in Israel you will meet her. I got some preliminary CD.
