I don't like endings.
I don't like saying goodbye.
I don't like finishing a book; the coclusion usually doesn't do justice to the plot.
I don't like stopping a song.
I don't like leaving Israel.
I don't like realizing that it's all over.
But it is.
Another Chanukah has just passed me by.
Oh, yes. I did go to parties.
Every night, in fact.
And I sang some, and danced some, and shmoozed some, laughed some and ate some.
I even heard a shiur or two.
But it's not enough.
It never is.
And tonite, I didn't even have the time to stare into the candles like I usually do.
Goodbye, my dearest Chanukah.

I didn't even really feel like it was Chanukah this year. I hardly felt the difference. It was not my best year...and I'm sad to see it go, because now it won't be any better.
Time always seems to fly by me--and Chanuka was no different.
My son ZB (4 1/2) was all sad when he realized it was the last night of Chanukah. He kept saying he didn't want it to be over. I tried to cheer him up by saying it'll be back again next year, though I don't know how much it helped.
I also feel so sad that it's over already. It went by way too quickly and only when it's gone, do we realize how much we needed it. I don't like endings either..
I always thought i was the only one who doesnt like finishing a book...
I also dont like eating the last piece of something I really like... cuz then there's no more...
I actually had a beautiful Chanuka B"H and altho very sad its gone, I hope that putting in an effort to remember its beauty will keep me on a high...
