Prayers...

I never knew Mrs M.  Nor have I met her.  She was merely a person that I always heard about.

I still remember how back in high school M often told us about her family situation.  Her parents were separated.  Her mother was in Montreal.  Her father was in Israel.  She lived with her sisters and their families.  M had a really good relationship with her sisters, but the in-laws never treated her well.

On and off, M told us bits and pieces.  Every now and then, M would get into arguments with the in-laws.  Every now and then, she would "run away".

Eventually, M ended up living with other relatives.  Although, perhaps, they treated her better, I know she hated being away from her nieces and nephews.

It was only in recent years that Mrs M actually came into the picture.  Every now and then, M would drive up to Montreal and meet with Mrs M and her brother.  Every time, she would post pictures of the good times she had with them.

It's been too short.  They deserve so much more.  They deserve more time with each other, to make up for all the lost time.

Prayers for M and her family.

Be strong, M.  You've been through a lot.  You can get through this.  And we're all here for you.

RIP, Mrs M.
