yesterday was my father's yard site and as years pass the pain subsides the Tsar diminishes but sometimes you miss a person even more in the time lapse you think about a more and I come to think a lot about my father I'm sitting at my office in coil and right on my left is a beautiful picture of my father well I don't want to take it off the wall wall but this picture was made in Poland he has a Talus on his shoulders and filling on his head that very same day we visited the Auschwitz and in this picture my father was the smile of an Angel and her a Horus upon him he was a holocaust Survivor life wasn't pushed at all in America we struggled with penosa the life of my parents was a roller coaster with its ups and downs coaster with its ups and downs but my father and mother was so always full of and my father'sheim came from and he loved to talk and learning so I remember as a child we lived in Borough Park my father was one of the founders of the closing on 13th Avenue I don't remember which street it was I think it was I I can't recall but we lived on 13 41 54th Street
