Happy Purim

In a comment, Leonard emphasized the importance of hope during this difficult time and highlighted the spirit of the Purim holiday. His words deserve repetition:
The message of Purim is that after we are thoroughly convinced that we as people can do nothing to escape a bad situation, H" provides an unforseen (and sudden) rescue. Perhaps all this happened at this very time to give you that hope.

As we wait to hear from the interventional radiologist who will perform the biopsy on Shawn, we will hope that rescue is at hand.

Three years ago, we were in Israel during Purim and had the pleasure of participating in one of the local parades. This video is from a much larger Purim parade in Israel, but captures the joyous celebration.
