    iib001,
    R u sure he knows what he is doing? on the surface it sure doesn’t seem so.

    Baron,
    I can’t believe what a stupid and hypocritical comment that was. Do u think she would have wanted to die? would like to be with ur Zaide’s up there, or would u prefer to wait a little?

    There are many questions and no answers. Answers to our questions would not make the pain any lighter. May it be Hashem’s will that all of this suffering come to and end now. May we merit the Geulah Shleima immediately.
