Mother's Day, every day

I wrote an essay about my new niece Lily and my beloved mom, Liora. My mom passed away a couple of years before Lily was born so they never got to meet but there’s no doubt in my mind that they would have fallen instantly and forever in love with one another.

Something very scary happened when Lily was born and for a few days, none of us knew whether Lily would be okay. Though she wasn’t physically here with us, my mom helped all of us get through that terrifying week. The essay in this month’s issue of Hadassah Magazine. In case you want to read it, here it is.

Happy mother’s day to all you mothers and all you children. Even if you, like me, no longer have your mother living, I hope you celebrate the gift of having her in your life for as long as you did.

Much love to you all,
