When you were around, Aryeh, I didn’t need company. I enjoyed having the kids over, and being invited out, and hosting guests, but we had each other, so it was fine if there was no one else around. Now, I need people

o Aryeh my dear husband in Gan Eden
Now that the Tishrei whirlwind is behind us I finally have time to collect my thoughts and share them with you.
It’s been a busy month down here in Olam Hazeh. Back when you were alive Tishrei was also a busy time for me but in a very different way. Remember how everyone wanted to come to us for Rosh Hashanah and Succos and we had to figure out where everyone would sleep? Remember how you used to insist that I limit the company to two families at a time because you said I wouldn’t be able to enjoy it if I had too many people?
Things aren’t quite the same anymore. You always said that the kids and grandchildren came to our house for Bubby’s delicious food but apparently it was Zeidy’s Kiddush zemiros and divrei Torah that drew them — because I’m still as good a cook now as I used to be but somehow no one wants to come to our house anymore.
