A huge and enchanting child An angel from heaven, a child A wonderful soul flower. Our beloved child, we will always live with you. “Efrat, Eran’s mother:” The days pass through difficult nights, weeks and months passing by and a long longing. You have to be strong, but how can you? … Every knock on the door or the ringing of a bell makes us jump, Eran has come … Our lives were filled with laughter. With your wonderful sense of humor you always knew how to say the right word in the right place. You played with your friends and brothers in games like backgammon, taki, rami, cards and often you won. Only in the game of life did you lose and we all lost. Maybe all this is a nightmare? Maybe you just went to the Far East? But the tears that are rolling on our faces to reality are returning. “Brother Aviv wrote:” It’s hard for me to talk about you in the past tense. The heart refuses to believe and the brain can not absorb. The pain does not pass over time … You always worried about me, you said, ‘I’ll organize a recruiting party for you,’ you promised and there is. I know you see me from above and proud of me. I got an outstanding diploma in the course, and I’m sure you had a hand in it. Eran, I know you accompany us everywhere. I promise to keep our family as you would keep. You must die, but we received the verdict of the pain, the loss and the burning longing. “Niv, the little brother:” Eran, my older brother, you were the mainstay of the family … It’s very strange that you are not here. It seems to me that in a minute you will come in and say, ‘Guys, what are you here with a Tisha B’Av face?’ And say it with your big smile and your funny sayings … Eran, you did not manage to do everything you planned. Brother, I promise to continue what you did not do for you. I will always remember you in my heart. My brother Eran, you’re missing me. “Miriam, Eran’s grandmother:” The day you were born was the happiest day of our lives, so excited were our grandparents. And so with happy years you grew up and became a handsome man … The years that you have been with us will forever be cherished in my heart, and I thank you for choosing us to be your grandparents. My dear grandson misses you, sends you a thousand kisses every day … “Eran’s father, Sasson, wrote more than 10 songs in memory of his son, some of which were composed and can be heard performing them on the YouTube website. “Do not leave me,” “Shema Yisrael I say,” “Life goes on”, “The pain of a friend and brother”, “There is no pain like a mother”, “If there is a heaven.” I call you but you are not / Your room remains, silent and desolate / I read and you are missing, my heart aches and torments / I visit your grave I visit, and the sorrow increases / grows and becomes sanctified, At any time we will rise, for we will be superior to all of us “In the poem” There is nothing like a mother’s pain, “the father wrote,” … hidden are the ways of God, so the lovers truly tell you. “In cries of pain, you ask God why you took my son / Loves life with a limp and hopes It may not have happened, but the reality is cold and hard / You must be strong, the family you hold // The pain of a mother There is no cure, the pain is great, time will not help either Get out of the darkness and pity you compassion , So the soul seeks. ” “The sun penetrates the branches of the palm tree / Illuminates the day / the sun, “Your new house is full of flowers / beautiful, colorful, full of life and more / there is everything here we need and only you are what is missing.” On the last page of the book, S.His pages are decorated with warnings against unsafe driving, the family wrote: “Dear people, we ask from the bottom of our painful and wounded heart, please and for you … before you drink alcohol before you accelerate over 100 kilometers per hour, and before you do anything in your life. You have a few seconds to think about, remember your friends and the huge lack of our lives, and know that it is better to lose a moment in life, not life in one damn moment. “
