He stood like a rock sure of himself, enjoying the ceremony that he was starring in. My little difficult grandson has turned out to be a sweet gentle loving brilliant kid. He has great intensity inside of him and I can hardly wait to see what bursts out as he grows. This ain't no ordinary kid, but we ain't an ordinary family as ordinary goes. The guests came pouring in. We ladies dressed like queens preparing ourselves for the wonderful event. Friends and family showed up at the same hotel and Zach's other grandmother there was highly honored. We all knew that she would be leaving our world shortly as she had taken ill; but tonight she was radiant and we were grateful that she was there.
Zach read the Torah, all the family were invited to be part of the ceremony and he stood with composure and in his own words said, "I know my stuff." It was a long ceremony but nobody cared as we were totally engrossed listening to a language far over most of our heads, but this 13 year old got it?
We were swept away to the cocktail party on my son's estate of 200 acres on a Vermont farmland with ponds, pools and tonight there were two huge tents to enhance the lawn.
Cocktails took place in their newly renovated home, finished of course in time for the party. The mock kitchen was in; nothing yet worked as there was no time, but nobody really knew the secret. There was sushi and shrimp and stations of ethnic food with more passed delights, and then we were led into the tent magnificently lit with neon signs, you know how it goes, with Zach's name in lights. The best part of the party was the high energy! It was impossible not to have fun. We lit religious candles danced and ate the wonderful food. There is perfection in life and this party was exactly that. Congratulations Zach for being the great guy you are today and for bringing us all together. You did a wonderful job!
