It’s another sunny Sunday afternoon in the San Fernando Valley and we’re home from lunch. Beautiful Eema is napping, I’m watching a vampire movie, Twilight, in the guest room, and The Good Boy and the Sweet Sweetheart are each in their rooms for a rare hour or so. By rare, I mean hardly ever, as our children love nothing more than carrying on a 15-hour conversation with us, usually beginning at 6am and seldom interrupted.

It really shouldn’t have been needed at all, but unfortunately I’m reminded that’s not how life works.
The candle is in memory of my father z”l, who passed away twelve years ago today, according to the Hebrew calendar. Although it’s been more than a decade, there has been a certain joy in my life that is gone, and an empty space that cannot be completely...
