Shalom u'veracha. We wish you well. A beautiful story happened. I was in Morocco 20 years ago. There was an old lady. She told me a beautiful story. That when she was a baby with her sister, she had a sister, she was blind. And one day, that story happened about 100 years ago. And uh they were with the mother on Thursday shopping for Shabbat. And they saw Rabbi Hayyim Pinto, my grandfather, walking in the street of the Mellah of Casablanca. He's buried in Casablanca, of course. And the mother, she thought that she should go and get a bracha from the tzaddik. And they went to get a bracha and Rabbi Hayyim Pinto blessed them, and he blessed the blind girl. And he told her, "Who's going to marry you like that?" So, b'ezrat Hashem, I bless you that
