I’m Thinking of You On Your Yartzheit

Hi Amir,

I was thinking of you today on your yarzheit. At 5:30 p.m. when your unveiling started, the light bulbs in my bathroom went off. At around 8 p.m. when your memorial service started, I suddenly burst into tears and lost my self-control. I knew today would be a hard day for me as indeed it was.

I remember the cemetery where I went to your burial and the shul where I went to your funeral. My heart still breaks for your family who suffers so much from your heart-rending death.

I will never forget you and will pursue my hopes and dreams and passions in your memory. I will strive to be a better Jew and a better person and to make the world a better place and to reach out to others.

The tears continue to flow along with the knowledge that you remain in our hearts and have given me a lot of strength and hope in the past year.
