Temple Beth Avodah shared the sad news with us last week, and I have been thinking of you and your boys ever since. Take comfort in knowing there are many people in the community, some like me who don't know you personally, but we are all sending caring thoughts your way.

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.
