What else can I say? It’s the first anniversary of my husband’s passing. Our custom is to light a candle in memory of the person who has passed from this world. I lit a bee’s wax candle – it’s pretty and has a nice smell. Bees remind me of gardens, which remind me of Herschel.
The premise that our lives can change in a moment is very real to me. I mulled that thought over several times this year. It’s real. In the matter of a few moments our lives changed on 5 Kislev 5770/21 November 2009. I became a widow. Herschel went to another world.
May the memory of Herschel Avraham ben Simcha Yosef be a blessing.

I do hope you’re settled in to your new home and have made new friends as well as reacquainted yourself with old ones. I’ve enjoyed reading your posts this year. You have been a portrait of strength and emunah. May Hashem fulfill all your dreams for good. Take care of yourself.
