To all,
I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend.
I had a great last 4 days.
Life is so wonderful.
We are in the midst of celebrating Hannukah, the holiday of light as we
light candles for 8 nights but also the holiday of celebrating miracles.
If you believe in miracles, miracles will happen. I believe in miracles.
Liz and I were able to celebrate with each of our Families wonderful
Hannukah parties on Saturday. At noon Liz's 4 siblings and one cousin came
in with their children for the Adessky annual Hannukah party. Irv and
Zelda's 15 grandchildren were present with one by iChat. Lots of food and
lots of fun.
At 5:30pm we moved to Savta's house to have another great Hannukah party.
Savta's latkes and apple sauce were amazing. Zeev and Sara's 11
grandchildren were present With one by iPhone. Much fun had by all.
Saturday was just an amazing day of celebration and fun. I am so glad that
I had the energy to celebrate such wonderful simchas.
Saturday night was an unbelievable proud moment in my life. Just recently
I had my head shaved as I was losing my beautiful soft curly hair. Michael
and our Raider billet Keenan shaved their heads in solidarity for me. I am
so proud of these two you would not believe. This remarkable meaningful
gesture gives me such added strength in my battle against cancer.
The weekend was good for the Nepean Raiders also as they won Friday night
and Sunday afternoon. Coach Peter is definitely turning the team around.
Yesterday was my 57th birthday and I had a wonderful day. I had a birthday
lunch with Liz at Boston Pizza. I am enjoying the simple meals. Liz made a
roast beef birthday dinner which was great. I was able to enjoy mushrooms
provided by David. In the afternoon I had a nice visit with my good friend
Stevie. A great birthday!
Life is truly wonderful.
I am blessed with such a great Championship team. But really we are all
blessed to have each other.
I wish everyone a wonderful life, life is to be enjoyed.
Be healthy, be happy and truly cherish what you have.
With much love,
Arnie.
Arn, Sorry I missed your wedding some 30 years ago. I was in the middle of training for a new job and couldn't go to Montreal. Now, a wife and 6 children...you are truly blessed!!! It's been about 25 years since my last visit to Ottawa. I do remember your vocal support in the squash game finals. I just fell into this blog and don't know what to say....except keep your spirits up!!! Best Wishes from Murphys ln Winterpeg. Shalom Bruce.
