My sister landed in Israel this morning, and so she emailed me
this article about her group of immigrants from the US and UK landing in the old country (she's the one with the jetlagged-looking family of 8 on the left margin). For some reason this made the fact that my 6 niephlings are about half the world away really hit home. Saddening thing, that.
Having a geographically fragmented family really sucks sometimes.
