Adele Bitton, 4-year-old girl seriously injured in a 2013 rock-throwing terror attack who died on Tuesday afternoon from complications from pneumonia, is laid to rest today in the West Bank town of Yakir.
Her father Rafi says during his eulogy, according to Ynet, “The bereavement eats me like cancer. The helplessness that I can’t take care of you is making me crazy. You have joined me with the family of bereaved, hundreds of thousands who live, and at night fall apart.”
Adele’s mother Adva says, “When you were still a baby you didn’t like to sleep. Now I understand you needed to get it all in. To get a lot in during your short life.”
