We had such a lovely
day on Sunday! We are so proud of Eliana and her parents, Simmie and Ronen, who
created a celebration that completely reflected this very special young lady. I
had a chance to share a few words, including
We
are all here to celebrate you, Eliana, which means that we each have our own
special insights into what makes you unique. You are definitely a young woman
who marches to the beat of her own drummer. You will likely go through many
iterations before settling on just the type of person you want to be and how you
want to live your life. But whatever direction you may take, I have no doubt
that you will pursue it with tremendous enthusiasm, because whether it is
Minecraft or fidget spinners or sweets, when you love something you love it
passionately.
I also played an old
Carole King song called “Passing of the Days” that really speaks to the way I
think about Eliana.
I am just grateful
that I was up to making the trip and expressing my thoughts in person. Here are
some pictures from the day.
This week I am
wearing t-shirts from various museums. Yesterday was the Wildlife Conservation
Society, which includes the Bronx Zoo, and today I wore a New York Botanical
Garden shirt.
I managed to find a song with 21 called “21 Summer.”
Twenty-one
Summer (Brothers Osborne)
Tomorrow is a relatively quiet day, just radiation in the morning and then some much-needed down time!
