First the story you might know. In October my husband Gershon and I went away for Shabbos to celebrate his 40th birthday. We booked a hotel room with an incredible sea view and we arrived to find a cake waiting and champagne on ice. Forty is a big milestone and we were doing a life review together.
I’ve never ever seen Gershon so happy so fulfilled and so proud of himself. I said to him “You know you’re 40. You just finished a life. Forty is a life. It’s a beginning and an end of something… and this is it! You just finished a life.” He gave me this incredible smile and agreed.
We decided to go down to the beach and headed to an isolated spot. I sat on the sand and Gershon dived into the waves. Twenty minutes later he was pulled out of the sea close to death.
