an angel without wings can hardly fly
i wrote and i wrote and then i deleted and i deleted. nothing that i was writing sounded like me. it was either too perfect or too blotchy. i couldn't decide if i wanted to write happy or if i wanted to be honest. then, something came to me and it was both.
the first weekend upstate came rushing towards me and i started to smile. it was the weekend that rivky put on her graduation gown, her cap, her fuzzy socks and delivered her graduation speech. every part of it was perfect. she included private jokes and memories that were dear to her. man, i wish i had a copy of it. we were all sitting in the casino, pushing the little kids out [as always] and just laughing. laughing together, all of us. it was sweet and really really good.
i wanted all of the summer to be like that moment. unfortunately, a lot of it wasn't. i guess that it's okay now, i survived it. the summer came and went like it always does and time proved to be unforgiving. well, now the year is here and rivky is in israel, chloe is in israel, i am here and that moment in the casino is with all of us.
wow, finally.
good shabbat.
