"Hello to all people, I'm Roni Miren-Lavi. I'm two and a half years old and until recently I lived in Kibbutz Nahal Oz. My father is very famous so I'm sure you know him. He appears on a lot of signs and pictures. It's strange, because since he's been famous he's only been in pictures , and won't be at home with us. Even good night I have to shout to him every night outside because that's the only way he might hear us."
This is how Lishi Miran-Lavia, the wife of Amri Miran, who was kidnapped in Gaza, opened a post she wrote on Facebook last week in the name of their shared daughter.
Maybe this is what will help bring him back.
After 115 days, the ideas start to run out.
"Since he is famous, my mother travels a lot and is constantly in meetings. But she does not come back happy and sometimes when she is not paying attention, I see that she is crying. And it is difficult for her," she continued the post, next to which appeared a photo of Roni kissing a poster with her father's picture.
Below his face are his name and the inscription "Bring Them Back".
"I really want my father not to be famous anymore and to be simply at home, with me with my sister Alma and with my mother. I only ask you for one thing: take his picture and share it wherever you can. So that it reminds everyone that I really, really wait for my father and want him to come back Fast fast fast. Thank you, Roni."

Roni is one of two young girls whose father Amri was brutally taken from them.
On Black Shabbat, the family - 46-year-old Omri, 39-year-old Lishi, two-year-old Roni, and six-month-old Alma at the time - locked themselves in the Mmad at the sound of the terrorists walking around Nahal Oz. The father equipped himself with two knives, and waited. After a few hours, Hamas members forced their 16-year-old neighbor, Tomer Araba Eliaz, to knock on their door and ask them to open it, while threatening him with a weapon. The terrorists warned that if they did not do so - they would kill him. Amri opened the door.
The terrorists stormed and dragged the family members to a nearby house, her house of the Idan family. There they murdered the eldest daughter, 18-year-old Maayan, in front of their eyes. They also murdered Tomer, and broadcast the entire development live on Facebook. Later, they handcuffed the father and Amri, put them in cars - and kidnapped them to Gaza." I love you, don't be a hero," Lishi managed to tell him before he was taken away for an unknown amount of time.
"I love you, don't be a hero."
The last words Lishi said to Amri/courtesy of the family, Noa Sharvit
"The little one doesn't know anything yet, just to accept the bottle of milk and the rocking. To the older one, that her father was kidnapped before her eyes, we said at first that father went on a trip, after a few days we will be lost on the trip and after that her father is in Gaza. She doesn't even know what Gaza is. If we were to say New York was the same," said Danny, Omri's father, in a conversation with Walla!.
The family found a temporary home in Kibbutz Karemi, together with Nahal Oz evacuees.
First they were placed in a holiday unit, later in a house next to Lishi's parents.
"Every day Roni hopes that father will return. When her father was kidnapped she barely knew how to speak, today she speaks fluently and behaves like a five-year-old girl," he added.
"A month ago, she said to her mother, 'We were sitting at Tzachi's house on the floor and bad people took father.' When it was her mother's birthday, she asked what was written on the balloon, Lishi answered her, 'Happy birthday,' and she said that it said, 'Father Omri, come back soon.' , I miss'".
"We told the older girl that father went on a trip and we would get lost."

Danny is sitting in the "Square of the Kidnapped" in the plaza of the Tel Aviv Museum alone, waiting between an interview and a lecture for visitors from the United States and Australia.
At the time of the interview, he was the only relative present.
In recent weeks, the families have realized that they must focus their efforts and not exhaust their strength by staying for a long time at the protest center.
But he is there, sitting, telling his story to the curious who come to the place.
"I don't go to demonstrations near the Prime Minister's house because I believe that everyone is doing their best. What is my alternative? Can I replace the government? No. Even if I could - it is impossible to bring the country into a spin," he explains.
Faced with the flare-up of anger that has been seen lately, with the focus of the protest on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, he wants to offer a different approach.
"I believe that for the government, too, a picture of victory is to bring all the abductees. They need to be pressured to give up their ego and accept an offer if there is one, it's even difficult, because without pressure nothing will happen. But not to overthrow. Whoever believes in this - I won't tell him no, but the center of action It should be the square."
"The center of action should be here."
Hatofim Square, Tel Aviv/Uri Sela
He has four children, and the relationship between him and each of them is particularly strong.
He raised them alone in the foundation of the ma'ala.
32 years ago, Danny's wife got cancer and died, and he instantly became a single father.
Amri was 14 years old at the time. "He needed hugs and love and he got as much as possible," Danny recalled.
"He is a special boy, calm, doesn't get angry. Treats people with shiatsu and works well in the kibbutz."
Despite the belief in the goodwill of those involved, Danny is worried.
The number of days that have passed since his abduction continues to increase, news of abductees who have been killed continues to arrive.
Even the stormy weather makes him think of his son.
"Nothing is developing, my worries are greater than ever," he says.
"The winter is getting worse and I don't know what is happening with my son who is underground. If the tunnels are wetter, if he will suffer from pneumonia or breathing difficulties. Our army is covering all the places and I am afraid. Afraid that my child will be hurt by bombings or a rescue attempt. Afraid of any situation ".
