Of blessed memory Montreal, QC June 2021 This photo originally shared on Instagram |
As is our tradition, my wife and I left stones on each side of their shared headstone, a reminder that we were here, and their memory is cherished. As she left hers, my wife told them she loved their grandson. I think this memory will stay seared in my mind forever.
Zaidy Akiva and Bubby Rochel were the kind of grandparents every kid would be blessed to have, and I wish they could have met her.
I wish they could have heard me explain why I was taking this photo, and how I planned to share it. And tell a story. And hopefully make others smile and build a little community in the process. And apply the lessons they so artfully shared with me so many years ago.
Come to think of it, I wish many things.
