Je Tem in Terminal

The first memory I decided to write about in the " anniversary diary " is actually a memory that happened in Israel . In 2001 after my long Journey for the entry visa to China, a Journey that lasted 45 days and 4 countries,( instead of a 2.5 days in Mongolia ), I found myself in Israel waiting for Yu to come for the first visit to Israel, she was 7 month pregnant and we didn't see each other for almost 2 months. Can't write allot about this period, was a hard time on the emotional side and strangely and unfortunately I don't remember much from that time. The picture I remember more than all is seeing Yu in the old Tel Aviv airport . I got access to the restricted area thanks to my mother cosine Rachel that past away last year. Waiting there I saw Yu moving toward the direction of the passport control carrying a small bag of herself and helping an old guy carry his own big suitcase. The old guy was talking to her and she was answering to him patiently and with a smile. She looked relay gorgeous that evening she wore a black suite and had a nice make up. But although I didn't know her so well yet I could defiantly feel her been extremely worried and anxious ,and more than anything else she looked helpless. I started to move in her direction while she was still paying attention and being busy with the old man. Not seeing me I continue to move and almost touched her when she noticed. She was relived and immediately exhaled air she had in her lungs for maybe 2 months afterwards she looked in my eyes and immediately bowed her had on my chest.
