The menorah glowed softly in the window as Rachel chanted the melodic Chanukah prayers. Afterwards she sobbed, “Grandma, it’s the last night of Chanukah and I didn’t get my wish.”
Rachel’s grandmother enveloped her in a hug and rocked her back and forth murmuring, “ I’m sorry sweetie. I know you miss Daddy.”
Later that night, Rachel answered a video call from her Mom and saw she was crying. She froze until her Mom shouted, “Look! Daddy’s awake. He’s breathing on his own. He wants to see you.”
Rachel’s father smiled and blew a kiss. She giggled, “Happy Chanukah Daddy.”
