75th Wedding Anniversary |
Today is my parents' 75th Wedding Anniversary. I sure miss them. I don't remember their wedding anniversary ever being much of a big deal. They didn't go out to dinner. I don't even think there was ever a cake or special meal. Maybe my father would give my mom some money to go buy herself a gift. That's about it. I do remember when they were going to celebrate their 25th anniversary and thinking, "That's a long time." Fifty years later, it's not that long. David - 29 October 2021 |
Remembrance |
My father was born in Bilky. Back then, it was part of Hungary. Today, it's in Ukraine. My earliest memory of my father is him teaching me to read in the living room. I was about three or four. The book had something to do about a bus stop. He went over with me so many times, I learnt it by heart. I miss you. I love you. David |

Happy Father's Day I miss you. All my love, David |
Remembrance |
Seventy years ago, at the age of thirty-nine, my father became a U.S. citizen. From Bilky to the Bronx. World War II ended seven years before. Six million Jews including many family members and friends had been murdered. It was time for new beginnings in the new world. A son was born in 1953. |

Happy Birthday, Dad. I love you. |
