The following is written by Ricky, Hila\u2019s mother, Hila is 22 years old. For 3 and a half years, she has been fighting a brain tumor that has taken over her body. A talented, smart and beautiful girl, she no longer speaks and is basically immobilized and blind. Her devoted mother cares for her in a hospice setting at home. May the miracle her family is waiting for soon appear \u00a0bringing \u00a0a complete recovery. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The flowers in the garden blossom, as they do every spring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And my lovely Hila, the \u201csleeping beauty,\u201d barely communicates with me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She lies there, serene, her hair gathered in a ponytail and her face pristine and pretty, with an aura of tranquility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And my heart contracts. And aches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have I despaired of miracles? Will we merit that miracle that we are waiting for?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That she should arise?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wake up?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speak to me?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Call me \u201cImush,\u201d like she always did?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rip the heavens with your prayers for our precious Hila.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pray for Hila Malka Chaya bat Rivka Ricky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps a tremendous miracle will yet happen here, a giant wonder that will be spoken about for years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Words are too small to describe the terrible time we are enduring. It is almost too difficult to bear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And then all kinds of sweet people with huge hearts appear and we are filled with strength and are comforted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That is what our trip with Hila was yesterday, in Ezer Mizion\u2019s ambulance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shlomo, the driver, took us to the doctor (who says that there is nothing more to do).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Such graciousness, goodwill and caring for our beloved daughter, who is struggling for her life and suffering so much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like all the Ezer Mizion drivers, he did so much to help Hila: he came early, drove slowly and was so gentle when he lifted her stretcher in and out of the ambulance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So kind and thoughtful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

May there be many more like him among our people \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
