Guest guest Posted September 23, 2001 Report Share Posted September 23, 2001 I am all dressed up for a " do " which is sad by nature, but uplifting at the same time. I'm leaving in a few minutes, DH has already gone ahead. We have donated a room in Yeshaya's old grammar school (the one DH is chairman of)... it's the room used as a synagogue/place of religious study. It is in memory of our son Uri who died tragically in a car crash in January 1996. The committee have made a brochure and a whole " do " in honour of the inauguaration, with DH and I, presumably, guests of honour. I have seen the room, it's stunning. A fitting tribute to a young man who was an ex pupil of the school, albeit when it was housed in another building. Yeshaya, in the meantime, is languishing on Tavya's living room couch In Jerusalem. He has a rotten cold and has lost his voice, and I do understand that it's hard to be unwell when you're far away from home, on your own (and a big baby into the bargain!) Last night at midnight (2 a.m. his time) I found myself talking him through on the phone, the technical intricacies of putting on an electric kettle to make himself a hot drink..something he had never, till then, had occasion to do for himself!!! Dear me, spoilt brat. Tavya will give him short shrift and kick him back to yeshivah if she assesses him well enough tomorrow afternoon. Otherwise he will get a rough and ready version of TLC, with not too much sympathy thrown in! Ruthie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
