[HANASHIR:3199] hard to express emotions

[NRizkalla <NRizkalla...>]

i am one of those who dont really cry,i would say its been about 26years ago 
when my grandmother died before my bar mitzvah.But this past weekend was 
something i cant descibe even till today.When asked about my week i just say 
it was great.I was so moved by how nice everone i met was and the closeness i 
felt at all times,felt very special and i had felt sad that i had missed all 
the prior hava nashiras.But in reading what everyone had to say it seems this 
one was special,and i feel thankfull i was able to be there.I was so shocked 
at the feelings that donny brought out in me,from the tingles and moisture in 
my eye area .I still get that moist feeling when i replay his music i just 
sit alone when i am home,and play his music loud and sing along and still 
feel that i am back at camp.For me it is not something that as the emails 
slow down and everyone gets back to their lives i will forget for the rest of 
my liftime.I thank eveyone for their part in being who you are that created 
something that was a new beginning for me.I never thought i as 1 person could 
go back to my temple and say,(hey all of you there is a world of great jewish 
musicians out there we all are missing).But to my suprise at a board meeting 
i just got up and played 1 of donnys songs and said.WHY DONT WE HAVE A TEMPLE 
BETH AM FAMILY CONCERT SERIES.It doesnt have to be a fund raiser ,just have 
the people come hear great music and it will warm everbodys hearts and keep 
us a united temple family.THEY LOVED THE IDEA AND WE ARE PLANNING THE 
UPCOMMING YEAR AND GETTING DEMO PACKS TO ALL HEAR TOGETHER.Thanks for 
listenning,i have watched for a week all the comments and felt it was time to 
thank all.After hearing all the warmth comming out of all the kids still in 
school i feel the world still can be great for all our children in the future
