At least Ryan didn't commit suicide. It was just a freak accident.

Does anybody else get that feeling where you just hope Olam Haba is torturous to the person who killed your family member? Why couldn't she see how much he loved her?! He killed himself because she wouldn't date him again, after they broke up. He loved her more than his own life.

May G-d remember Ryan, 23.

May G-d remember the soul of Ryan, son of Kellie and Jim, who has gone onto Olam Haba.

Who can tell me what you chose your Hebrew name to be? Why?

Mine is Batya. Batya (also spelled Bathya) is the name of Pharaoh's daughter in the Book of Exodus. In Hebrew, Batya means, "daughter of G-d."

The Torah teaches us that because she went with so few women to bathe at the Nile River, she was very against her father's ways and wanted to convert to Judaism. When she saw the baby in the river and said, "This must be a Hebrew child!" and did not have him killed, she was truly a daughter of G-d at heart.

Going to try to incorporate Hebrew and Yiddish into my everyday life.
My dad is such a mensch! I thank G-d for giving him to me everyday. He adopted me, with my permission, and has never once wrongfully mistreated me.

Just now waking up to take my medicine. Have a blessed day!
