Blabla: Please don’t give up! Pain can be unbearable..I know. Every morning you need to give yourself one reason why you NEED to get out’ve bed. Take that reason and milk it for all it’s worth. Many a morning I couldn’t even find that one reason. It takes unbelievable strength to get up on those days, but refuse to let the pain control you :-/ Hang in there..
Unrelated, but I wanted to share something….Everyone remembers the terrible tragedy of Moshe Berkowitz a’h untimely passing. I wrote this little blurb about him shortly after…
The hour was late, the sun had set
You ran into the yeshiva to daven maariv, heaven knew it would be the last one.
The earth stood in awe at your fervent prayer.
At the 23rd hour, tragedy struck
A pure, sterling, loved and revered neshama was taken from its earthly cradle
Screaming, crying, pain, the shot heard round the world
From silence to sorrow hundreds gathered to grieve
From all backgrounds & social classes they flocked
One thought in mind-You.
Why, How, Where, What, When
The questions, the rumors, the stories
No one could fathom why you had to go
We cannot understand so many things
The heavenly angels looked down and saw a treasure
They asked god to claim it for himself
When we come into this world, we cry and the world rejoices
Let us live our lives so that when we leave, the world cries and we rejoice
Moshe, we are all crying for you.
