A very sad day

Sunny’s dad died this morning.  He was very sick and 91 years old but that doesn’t take away the pain and sadness.  I am so grateful to Seymour because he brought Sunny into the world and the world is a much better place because of Sunny.  I think Seymour always wished that Sunny would become a mother and I am so happy that he was able to see her as a beautiful and incredible mother to Ella .  He would sometimes look at Sunny with tears in his eyes and say, “You are a wonderful mother – I knew you would be”.   Music was Seymour’s world and he was playing his horn up until about a year and 1/2 ago.  I am so happy that we were all able to hear him sound the shofar at the end of Ella’s baby naming ceremony.   He was 88 years old when he did this.  I attached a clip of that at the end of this entry.  We hope your soul is free Seymour.
