Chava is quite a celebrity

14 Kislef
Azuvah wasted no time she has been telling everyone about the king! It seems that she also saw him wearing the cloak. One of her little ones had tripped and grazed his knee so she stopped to see to him by the roadside. She saw "the cloak walk by" as she put it. As she glanced up to see who was wearing it she had a fright. She fell on her face and did not dare move!
Chava is so embarrassed she stayed in our yard all day I could not coax her out. I was able to confirm to Aunt Tirzah that the story was true when she came to the weaving shed this afternoon. That meant the whole tale did the rounds all over again and that Chava is now quite a celebrity. I hope she will feel less shy about it tomorrow.
Milkah will be staying home for the first week of mourning. That is the duty of a daughter in law. Vered and Hadassah took their turns sitting with them today. The old lady is very tearful, but she is grateful to have Eli there. I minded the baby for a while this morning, I think the adults appreciate the break, though it is good to have a youngster around as a reminder that life goes on.
I wonder what Reuven will have to say when see him next...
