Michelle was the sister who kicked me and made me do right... and held my nose to the grindstone of reality... This is kaddish for her... Oh hear oh Israel, The Lord Our God Is One... an ancient phrase. Michelle... with your family who misses you... I miss you also my friend and older sister... Angles of Heaven Stop me now for I weep. 'Tis impolite in this venue to weep. But I have the secrets... the children.. the neighbors... the acts of kindness beyond measure... None of it was "kindness" for Michelle... it was simply being alive and being there... For Michelle "being there" wasn't a goal it was a hope/kiss/hug. Damn, I just miss my "Across The Pond" sister.
