Shabbat Zachor

Most Jews celebrating Shabbat Zachor this week are remembering to wipe out Amalek from their memories. I, however, am dealing with a different relationship with memory this Shabbat. I am trying to remember so many things, but many of them seem out of reach.

This Shabbat marks ten years to the day from the last time I saw my love face to face. I remember the qualities of our interactions better than the specifics now. I miss her.
