Hakarat Hatov

In Judaism, it is a very important value to express gratitude. I have so much to be grateful for: I must thank God for my friends, my family, the comfort with which I live my life, the experiences I have had.

Tonight I would like to express gratitude to my mother - not only did she care for me as a child, when I got sick often - but today, when I was feeling extremely ill, she took excellent care of me, and showed me love and tenderness, despite my having said some rather cutting remarks to her in a disagreement we had yesterday.

I honestly think if my mom hadn't been there to care for me today I might have wound up in the emergency room. I did not thanks to the help of God, and also thanks to my mother's caring nature.
