An emotional goodbye...

There are significant moments in your life when you just know that the path ahead is very, very different than the path behind.

On a macro level, you look at things like 9/11, the Kennedy assassination, and the A-bomb in Hiroshima.

On a personal level, it could be marriage, birth of a child, or buying a home.

Tamar's brother and sister-in-law are moving to Israel in December with their three children.

We saw them for the last time before their trip this past Sunday. It was in the background of the wedding the entire time, but we didn't have to confront it until Tamar and I had to leave.

As I hugged my brother-in-law and we savored the embrace, I said, "I really don't know what to say at a time like this."

Like sportscasters who know that during a special moment of a game, the best way for the fans to appreciate it is to keep silent, so did we...for a bit, but it was enough.

We know the road is going to be very different, but we wish them the best of luck and success in their journey (and yes, we were both emotional-look closely!)
