“….. her body was failing and she became a prisoner in her home. She found a way to make that house her world and she loved it. And one more thing was taken away from her….. THANKSGIVING! THANKSGIVING! She was devastated by it. We all were and still are. I know my mother wouldn’t want me to talk about this now but I am. I am angry and I always will be. May Thanksgiving never be a day of thanks for those people! May it be a day of Sorrow! RESPECT RESPECT RESPECT! Would anyone else like to speak now?” Excerpt from “The Day of Sorrow: Don’s Revenge” by Donald S. Friedman Proud author of the Innocence Garden Footnote: Alter Gershon, I see you're very busy (understandably) and I thought maybe I would be able to speak to you before the weekend. I just wanted to say the Torah passage that one wishes one during the Shiva - "May G-d console you amongst the mourners of Zion and Jerusalem" and may we only share good news from now on. Please let me know if you would like to say kadish in memory of your mother. Good Shabbos, Rabbi Shusterman Hello Gigi, I am writing you to apologize for my actions on Saturday. I do not expect you to forgive me by any means. What I said was very wrong and there was no excuse for my behavior. I can only say that it was not planned. I loved my mother very much and my emotions got the best of me. I am so sorry for any hurt that I caused you or your family. As I mentioned before, I do not expect any forgiveness because I do not deserve it. I wish you and your entire family all the best in the future. As soon as the estate is settled, I will be sending you a check for the amount mom left you in her will. Don
