Yesterday was Julia's Bat Mitzvah, and I was feeling particularly emotional, especially about Grandma. As always, she looked beautiful, and we all held our breath as she walked confidently, if a bit slowly, up to the bima to do her aliyah, for the I-don't-kn0w-how-many-th time. I got all choked up when I realized that she probably won't be around to do it for my kids. Ditto at the reception, when she lit a candle for Julia. But then I got yet another chance to dance a good long hora with her and Mom, Lauren, Susie, and Auntie 'Nita. I keep thinking it'll be my last hora with Grandma, and then I always seem to get another chance. Kyle's Bar Mitzvah is in October, so maybe there's still one more to come.

It's hard when our loved ones get old. I hope she is there for many more ceremonies to come.

That's a really sweet post. I miss my grandmothers so much.
