Two other cousins were killed in the attack. Greenberg said the children&#8217;s recovery has been stunted by not knowing if their father would be OK or not.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Despite being in captivity for 484 days, one of his defining characteristics is this radiant smile and to see that emerge after this long, being held in unimaginable conditions, just lets me know that some part of the man that went in has some out,&#8221; said Greenberg. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Calderon will now spend four days in a hospital in Tel Aviv for a medical and psychiatric evaluation. Greenberg said his home was destroyed in the initial attack but he will be housed in an apartment in an undisclosed location of Israel when he&#8217;s released from the hospital.<\/p>\n<h2>Families frustrated<\/h2>\n<p>Greenberg said he&#8217;s happy to have his cousin freed and safe but said there&#8217;s lots of frustration from families on how long the process took. He added that some families still have loved ones in captivity and some of them are not alive.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If the deal that was just struck on January 19th and is being implemented had been accepted by the parties back on May 31st, then this ordeal would have been 266 days shorter for Ofer and the other hostages,&#8221; said Greenberg.<\/p>\n<p>Greenberg said he plans to visit Israel soon to see his cousin and looks forward to embracing him.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Put yourself in my shoes, would you ever lose the faith for a family member of yours? You can only hope for the best and know deep in your heart that they&#8217;re going to come out and he has,&#8221; said Greenberg.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation component--type-recirculation \">\n<p><h3 class=\"component__title\">More from CBS News<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<\/aside>\n<p><!-- tags --><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-author\">\n      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/team\/victoria-d\/\" class=\"content-author__name\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Victoria D<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-author__bio\">\n<div class=\"content-author__full-information\">\n<p class=\"content-author__text\">Victoria D. is a digital producer for CBS Boston.
