Ivri Dickshtein, who fell in battle in southern Lebanon, sent his wife Miriam a delivery of chocolate and flowers before he was killed - but it did not arrive before his death.
Accompanying the gifts was a handwritten letter from Ivri. In it, he wrote:
"My beloved wife,
I am writing to you from the far north - hopefully for the last time. I am here, happy, and doing something significant for my nation. I ask that you smile and keep your head high. I am fine - don't worry about me. I love you the most in the world, pamper yourself with chocolate and enjoy the bouquet's beauty.
Yours always,
Ivri."
Ivri, however, did not live to hear his wife's thank-you: He was killed during combat in Lebanon, and his wife received his last gift and letter after returning home from his funeral.
