Dear Debra, your beautiful story -- the comfort of that beautiful scarf; the steadiness of your father through every 9.45pm sit up session, trip to shul, and train drop-off -- were exactly what I needed this morning. Thank you for always bringing us into your world that moves so inextricably from past to present. Love you.
