My father-in-law, Abram, passed away last month after 92 years of life.
Two weeks later my family took Mila his caretakerfrom Nepal for a day trip to Jerusalem (without me, I still cannot walk a whole day).
With my daughter and granddaughter.
His granddaughter on the right.
Mila was with us for three years. She did her job splendidly, carefully, and with a warm heart. We are very thankful to her and wish her all the best. She will stay in Israel for another period of time and found work again with an elderly patient in the same neighborhood where she lived with my father-in-law. Kol tuv Mila!

Hej Yael,
als alter Mensch jemanden um sich zu haben, der solche Eigenschaften besitzt, bedeutet Ruhe und Geborgenheit. Das nenne ich auch "in Würde alt werden." Das ist eine sehr familiäre Geschichte, die wir hier erfahren dürfen. Danke
Liebe Yael, ich hoffe, es geht dir wieder besser. Dein Schwiegervater hat ein gesegnetes Alter und schaut noch sehr gut aus. Mila sstraht soviel Wärme und Herzlichkeit aus. Das Foto mit deiner Tochter und Enklin ist wunderschön. Einen geruhsamen Abend wünscht dir Irmi
Hello, Yael! I’m slowly back into blogging. It’s so sad to lose an important loved one, but 92-year-old is a great accomplishment. When he is remembered warmly, the pleasant time with him will be full grown in your heart. Give my condolence to Uri, too.
My name is Yael, I live in Israel, and I am pleased to meet you!
This blog is about art and craft, and about sewing. There will be stories from traveling. I will tell a little bit about myself, and about my family. I will mention my wonderful friends. I shall introduce our beloved four legged companions. And I would like to talk about nature. And about sun and rain and flowers and trees, and the sea and the desert - about the beauty, the history, the ancient places and the views of the Land of Israel, and about its people.
If you want to know a little bit more about me, go down to the February 2010 posts.

Al pozzo dei pazzi, c'era una pazza, che lavava le pezze, passo' un pazzo, vide la pazza, (che lavava le pezze), butto' nel pozzo dei pazzi, la pazza e le pezze.

Farewell dear Abram... And thank you Mila for being the splendid soul you are.
Big hugs to you, dear Yael, and I hope you can walk well very soon! :)
92 years of age is not bad going. He can be said to have had a good innings.
And he was looked after well, which makes all the difference.
Still, whenever you lose somebody from your family there is sadness at another chapter closing. I am sorry for your loss.
Take care Yael. Hope you’ll soon get your walking legs back.
estupendo tu padre!!!!
un beso Yael.
Sad for Abram, good also for Mila to find another job. I hope you are better soon Yael.
It seems that he had a full life, with all that it has to offer. And the luck to have such a lovely caretaker and women in his life!
I love you...
My deepest sympathy to you and your family.
I am glad to hear that Mila has found another job.
Thinking of you Yael.
Qué bonito, Yael. Mi padre también murió a los 92.
Un abrazo amiga.

Oh, Yael. Sad news. My deepest condolences to you, Uri and family. A blessing and well wishes for the future on Mila's head!
So sorry for your loss Yael, and grateful that such a kind hearted soul took such good care of your father-in-law... may his memory be for blessing.
lo lamento!!!
un beso
