Journal entry by Liz Ortuzar

We said Goodbye to a most wonderful husband, father, grandfather, uncle, friend today. My beloved father left this earth on the day he was born...I would like to share a poignant text my darling son shared with our family...

"The Talmud teaches that Moses passed away on the 7th day of the Jewish month of Adar, which was his 120th birthday. The Talmud explains that G‑d calculates and completes the lifespan a righteous person, as we read in Exodus (23:21), “I will complete the number of your days.”1
 
Why is this significant?
 
The Chassidic masters explain that on the day we are born we are entrusted with a mission. The righteous person lives his life achieving his fullest potential and completes his mission on earth in the most perfect way possible. This perfection is expressed in the fact that his mission ends on the very same day that it was begun."

And that was my beloved father...perfection. I love you so dearly, Daddy, and you will remain forever in my heart.
