Today, someone to whom I am close lost his father.
If you have a father - THANK HASHEM!!!
If you are a father [and are still alive - which is very likely if you are reading this] - THANK HASHEM!!
If you ever had a father in the past - THANK HASHEM.
Our biggest problem is that we tend to take things for granted. The thrust of Tefilla and brachos is to uproot that spiritual cancer from our midst and to be מלא שירות ותשבחות for all of the limitless gifts Hashem gives us EVERY SECOND!
