For Jack From His Jill by Jill Sharon Kimmelman

For Jack From His Jill

You live inside my heart...fill me with wisdom...give me gossamer wings to allow my imagination to soar...as never before

soaring beyond all earthbound dreams and ground-stalled expectations

You found a way...in heaven above

to place my beloved bubelah upon my path

How did you figure out that a boy from rural Alabama

and your  beloved first daughter

a former Jewish American princess from New Jersey

were meant to share an extraordinary journey

in this life and in the lives to follow?

A magical pairing...a miraculous mystery...forever to remain unsolved

no need to unravel such a glorious gift

simply...one mensch recognizing another

Dad

not a day goes by that I do not celebrate you

i will love you until I take my final breath

what an extraordinary gift is has been

to be the Jill to your Jack

Thank you for the 18 wonderful years we shared.

When my time comes

 you will be waiting with open arms to welcome me home

What a glorious reunion that will be...

until then...💗

Author’s Note:  photo was taken in 1978

We were two lumbering lumberjacks, on the dance floor...between the two of us we had no rhythm

We joyously celebrated a very special event...and had the time of our lives!!
