I Thank You Each

Hi Rabbi Neil,

I've been meaning to send you a note for some time now. I was so very sorry to hear about your mother. I never met her, but knowing you, I know she must have been so very special. Although I wish there were, I realize that there is not a thing that I can say to make it any easier. It makes it awkward to say anything at all. I just wanted you to know that you have friends who are thinking of you and wishing you well.

Take Care,
X

It's a few minutes to minchah. Tomorrow is the end of shloshim. The email above - which felt beautiful, and emblematic, and safe for posting - came in a few minutes ago.

A great amount of caring has been coming in for a month now. I am so grateful. There are no words.
