One Year Later

I'm in Houston, where my family is preparing a personal memorial to my late sister, who died one year ago today. It's not for her, it's for us.

  1. You guys took even longer to get to it than we did. My heart goes out to you, John, and I hope you all find some comfort in each other's company.

  2. I also hope that you find comfort in each other's company. Every year on the anniversary of my father's death, we burn a yahrzeit candle. It's a Jewish tradition to mark the day with a candle that burns for 24 hours. I watched my father burn a candle every year for his mother, the candle light flickering on the walls at night. Now it flickers for him.
