My dad just forwarded me this email... his first cousin, Alex (my first cousin once removed) is dying and Muriel who wrote the email is his mother. He's been forwarding me a lot of emails but this one's about their struggle to make Hanukkah happy failing... idk why I'm sharing. I just felt like sharing it. Sorry for the downer. I'm sad for them although I don't know any of them too well. I did always like Alex and his two young sons who I think are 12 and 16 now?
