    Thank You!

    Your right Lori, we are not perfect, we Wish we were. We make mistakes, and sometimes we forget. We can only try, try our best, God knows. And every year, like today, we realize something new about ourselves. Let us "try" to make every day, "fathers day"! I love you Lori, I love God, and.... I love all of his people!! They maybe small in number, but they are big at heart! amein!

    I was very moved by your 'Father's Day' talk. It is exactly how I feel before Yom Kippur. Thank you. I can now approach Y.K. not as a failure or a sham but as this amazing person I would want to be even tho' I know I won't be able to rise to it.
