AFTERGLOW

 Throughout last night’s Seder, love, happiness and gratitude filled our home.

Ravi remembered every detail that we’d read and discussed, together, last week, and she reassured me of her awareness when Elijah’s spirit flew into the room.  I watched Steven marvel at Ravi’s knowledgeable attentiveness throughout our festive yet meaningful Seder.

Our holiday feast was catered, and everyone pitched in—I did nothing but sit and smile.  Even so, I slept 12 hours, straight, last night.

The reality of hosting and celebrating a holiday in our home, after three years of serious illness, filled me with pleasure that proved beyond measure.  At this time last year, my second round of chemo with surgery to follow were directly ahead.  Hopefully, my three year struggle to survive is behind us as the future beckons, ever so kindly, offering years of thriving in good health. 

Today, I can do bothing more than rest, while basking in the afterglow of having shared in the hosting of a traditional, yet child-friendly (frogs here, frogs there, frogs jumping everywhere) holiday, amidst loved ones, with Will.
