Thinking of my dear friend Tairi on what would've been her 69th birthday today.

In high school, I use to refer to Tairi as my "Yiddisha Mama".She was a very caring and special person with the biggest heart.

 Tairi was my "Bat Mitzvah Sister"--April 18, 1965.  While we were not close as we grew older, she will always hold a special place in my heart.
