Today is daddy's 24th yahrzeit. Time does fly. I still have vivid memories of that year especially that Yom Kippur. Both mom and I were sick and I still remember Dad's sad look on his face seeing us both. (I had a tooth infection). Of course Succoth was bittersweet that year also. This year I felt sadder than usual and eventhough the weather was fairly warm and the rainheald out most of the time, Ikept onrembering our succah and Aunt Hilda's succah sweaters and Aunt Hilda and Uncle Benny coming to eat in our succah. I guess it didn't help that htere was a mix up withmy first meal. They thought hey invited me for Friday night and went out for the first night. I remeber bier=ng invited for the first night. So ther I was, without a succa and without a meal. I ended up going to my Friday night host but they weren't there either. I then knocked on my friend Miriam's door as Iwas going there the next night and they hosted me. They didn't have any company that night. I had to make my own kiddush and motzi. I am going to the cemetery soon after I close the computer. Ihope you enjoyed Succos
Thanks to whoever added that candle. Before I went to the cemetery this afoon I went to the bank. The nk is located next tothe Conservative shul. there were alot of peoleleaving the shul and walking in the library direction. I asked a woman what was going on and she said they were dedicating a new Torah and were waling that wayto get it and then walking it back to the shul. I decided to walk a block and passed the gas station where I noticed a car parked with the license plate baalkria. I don't believe this was all a coincidence.
ReplyDeleteWhat was Aunt Hildas succah sweaters, were they specifically for succos? It was 100 degrees here over succos and of course no rain- so no sweaters for us. Our succah provides a lot of shade though so it wasn't too bad. Thanks for sharing memories with us, its good to hear about them.
