7 years later…

As I remember my mother on her Yahrtzeit, the Jewish anniversary of her passing, I think back to the woman who left our earth 7 years ago. She lost her mother at the age of 13. Was engaged to a man who was taken and killed by the Nazis before she turned 18. She slept underground for 16 months during the war. Her oldest son was separated from her for months soon after the war due to her having pleurisy. When life settled down it turned into a normal, but often difficult life. At the age of 85 when my father passed she was left without the man she had been with and loved for over 60 years. And yet, after all of this, she died a happy woman at the age of 95.

If you choose to honor my mother today, smile at someone who needs a smile, and stop, think and be grateful for the blessings that make life worthwhile.

Miss you Mom.

Am Yisrael Chai
