Passover

Passover starts this evening, and I will be at my parents, celebrating, with a giant whole in my heart. I was up in the middle of the night last night, just crying, because I miss my grandmother so much and I cannot have my grief at my parents house.

I guess this is how it will be from now on. I will grieve and cry the day before the evening before every Jewish holiday, and any other holiday I spend at my parents.

As my grandmother used to say at the end of every seder, "and a little money wouldn't hurt."
