As I sit at home with the kids while you are away at the Kinus Hashluchos, I thought it would be a good time to put my thoughts on paper.
I would like to make a tribute to you;
To your constant work (yes I think it is real work)
To your constant smile (even when there is no reason to)
To the constant hosting (and they get excited at 15 guests for Rosh Hashanah dinner)
To your constant example to our children (I can tell by the look in their eyes)
To inspiring a whole town about the truths of life (think of all the people you have touched)
For dealing with a less than perfect husband (no comment on that)
