Kinneret Bussany, 25, was working one night at My Coffee Shop in Tel Aviv: ''They tell me he came in; he asked me for a coffee. Some say that I gave him the coffee. And I guess he didn't like it, and then he blew himself up. Some say that he immediately blew himself up. I don't know." ''I'm alive thanks to the love that my family and boyfriend gave me," says Bussany. "They never left me alone; I was always with someone. I don't remember a lot, you know, but always someone held my feet. It was the only place anyone could touch me, was my feet. ''This is my goal, to show the world that life is stronger than everything, and love and the will of living, it's all that matters. No religions, no borders, no nothing. Just this.''
