[singing] >> I go to the bottom OF MY VOICE. >> [screaming] >> THIS MUST BE ONE of the most wonderful times. I must have a lot of guests there. Wow. I shall I tell the guest. I don't think I read this on Friday, right? As 5 years draws close tomorrow night since my down syndrome 4 and 1/2 year old son didn't wake up one morning, I think it's appropriate to be told you and MDY for giving me that spark back. Few months after his nifter, I walked around depressed, angry, frustrated, and lost. I was given an ultimatum by my boss that if I wanted to keep my job, I had to start hitting the gym at least twice a week. That helped me slightly, was more of a plaster than a repair I so badly yearned for. After that, a very close after that, a very close friend of mine from Yeshiva days bumped into me, analyzed the situation on one foot, and gave me Reb Gusman's biography, which definitely put things into better perspective, but it wasn't till 2 and 1/2 years later that I officially joined MDY from Bava Kamma that I got my spark back.
