Last Friday, I went for a walk in the rain. As the rain poured down on me and the wind blew hard against my face, I felt as though the earth was feeling my emotions with me. And I still was yet to make an even more personal connection to sweet Donny Morris, z”l.
In her eulogy, Donny’s mother sought to capture the essence of her beloved son and cited qualities and experiences to be remembered. Among them was his devotion to i-Shine, Chai Lifeline’s afters-chool program for children living with illness or loss in their family. Donny, it turns out, spent his high school senior year hanging out twice a week after school with my children. I feel it is befitting to note, from my perspective, what that meant.
