Doron Admoni, father of Guy and husband of Michal, who were murdered in their home in Kibbutz Kfar Aza on October 7th, shared his grief and memories in an interview. He described the ongoing difficulty of attending memorial ceremonies and learning to live with the loss.
Admoni remembered Guy and Michal as individuals who radiated light and positivity. He highlighted Michal's resilience, noting how she reinvented herself after becoming disabled 20 years prior and taught the family to choose life over succumbing to crises. Guy, whom friends called "their lighthouse," was also a leader, even as an officer, and his presence was deeply felt. Their smiles and optimism are what Admoni misses most, emphasizing that he and his family continue to live by their example.
Admoni recounted that he was in the United States with his daughter and granddaughter, who was three months old at the time, when the attacks occurred. He and his children in the US received messages about the escalating situation in the kibbutz and were unable to reach Guy and Michal. They were later found embracing in their safe room, and upon his return to Israel, Admoni discovered they had been shot and killed.
He shared a poignant memory of attending a football derby with Guy a week before the massacre. They had lost the game, but Guy had told him not to worry, as he had lived to see Hapoel win the championship. Admoni expressed his deep longing to share these moments with his son again, particularly watching football, and admitted to crying at every game, regretting that Guy couldn't witness the beauty of the sport. Despite the pain, he stressed the family's commitment to choosing life, mentioning they recently finished building a house in Greece that Michal had planned before her death. Another dream is to establish a winery in Kfar Aza, as a way to commemorate them and contribute to the kibbutz's revival.
Admoni also spoke about bringing the EuroCup trophy to Guy's grave, calling it a moving full circle. He described the current support group he attends as a "distraction" but emphasized the family's enduring optimism and choice to live fully, honoring Guy and Michal's wishes. He stated they continue their work, with other children and grandchildren, striving to smile through their pain without forgetting the events of three years ago.
