Today is MY MOM’s yahrzeit. It was one year ago according to the Hebrew calendar that she died. Last night when I got home I lit the yahrzeit candle and opened a bottle of MY MOM’s favorite wine, Kendall Jackson chardonnay. It felt like the right way to remember her. Today I will go to services and say the Mourner’s Kaddish. Tomorrow night, THE DIVA and I are going to have Shabbat dinner and go to services together.

I miss you mom, everyday and love you forever.
