New Photos

Last month a piece of mail came addressed to both Seymour and myself. It was a personal note with a feminine handwriting on it. I knew immediately that this was from the past. I hesitated to open it for a minute, took a deep breath and found a wonderful surprise. Photos of Judah that I had never seen. One of his friends from Lafayette had read about Judah's passing in the school alumni newspaper. She had the grace to send me a beautiful note with these pictures. I called her and of course cried, but they were good if it were good tears. I miss Judah so much its hard to put into words. Passover will be here in two weeks, of course, I'll never forget the last two seders we had with Judah. One at the City of Hope and the other in the house where he said goodby to every one.



I love to hear from all of his friends, see photos of their babies, read about jobs, careers and of course love to hear Judah stories. Its a way of keeping him here with us.

I have one picture with me and several more in storage that I'd like to share with you. Judah and I took a photography class together at SMC when I was 14 and he was 21. He was kind to me and I had a crush on him. :) I even drew a portrait of him from one of the photos from our class. (Sorry if that was creepy.) I ran into him again and again through the years and even ended up going to a club in 1995 with him and a group of friends. I was trying to look him up on Facebook, but couldn't find him so I googled him and found out the sad news. Please contact me at Avivala@aol.com so I can send you the picture I have.

Love,
Julie (Parrott) Stein
