I remember one evening when my second son, Yair, first asked me for a new bicycle that I could not afford. It hurt. I thought about it all night. Had I pursued other directions in life, I would be able to easily provide him with what he wanted.

Although I knew full well that the gifts of the spirit I had for him were infinitely more valuable than those momentary material gifts, it still hurt. And that’s okay. We’ve all had moments where our hearts crack a little because we can not give our beloved every thing they want or even need. It is a bittersweet hurt which reminds you just how large your love really is.
