Life in a Nutshell.

Sunday, dear friends are getting married.  

And we will not be able to attend a funeral for another friend.

And in between then and now, there is a bar mitzvah being given by other longtime friends.

And a memorial service in my shul for a member who passed away a month ago and was loved by everyone.

This, my friends, is the emotional roller coaster called life.  The tricky part?  To mourn and to celebrate with all your heart, at the right time and in the right way.
