According to someone (his name escapes me), the end-of-days is coming tomorrow. I am not clairvoyant but I'm going to bet tomorrow will be another typically wonderful Shabbas. Yet, the chicken little who is screaming the "sky is falling" has me thinking.
What if tomorrow was the end-of-days?,
Would I do anything different?,
Would I prepare in some way?
If tomorrow was my very last day (puh puh puh) than it would be with my family at our Shabbas table. Willow would be in a beautiful dress covered in frosting on her dad's lap trying to convince him that she never ate a cupcake (she always catches him on a technicality, she only eats the frosting. the girl is going to love gamorah)...Judah would be on my lap in an ariel dress most likely accessorized by heels and a Nachman kippah (poor rabbi would roll in his grave) holding my face between his palms telling me "you're so beauuutiful mummy"...Zoe would be in her highchair covered in her meal smiling like the angel she is repeating her favorite word "Dadda" which she calls David and myself. And this is how I would want it.
If the world was ending tomorrow I wouldn't be traveling, buying, running, doing, cooking....I'd stop and hold on tight to my lichtig kindella and thank Hashem for every last breath I have been granted.
And at the Shabbas table would be my very last challah.
that's beautiful <3.
