Except for Bea, I took each of you to see the ocean for the first time. ( I had planned it. Bea, and then your step mom beat me to it. We did go there together though, I remember!) Anyway, I remember the first time your oldest brother saw the vast, azure ocean. He said…
I feel the need to be purified. You can do that anytime you need it. It is called in Hebrew a “mikvah.” It is kind of like a baptismal bath. First, you bathe/shower. Then, you do it again. Yes, I said bathe/shower twice. I took one last night and another this morning. Now, I’m in…
It is crowded and loud on the Venice Beach Boardwalk. But the ocean looks so blue and gorgeous. People sell their art (some good, some very very bad) along the walkway. The smell of weed fills the air. Lots of bikes, more people. I’m sitting at a cafe and thinking about you, my sweet girls….

I don’t think I’ve posted this song yet. I know it’s hard not seeing each other. Thank goodness we have this arena to “see” each other. And I am waiting to see you. Everyday, I think we are one day closer to that day. Time After Time, you’ll get online and find that I’m waiting…
