I found it only by chance, when I was googling something I had written. I had no way of knowing Rabbi Fine was your grandfather, but I found his words to be far more superior than my clumsy effort. Your grandfather must have been a very wise man. There must be a G-d!

Rabbi Alvin Fine was my grandpa (he passed away when I was in college). How strange to read such an upsetting post but then be comforted by my grandfather's writing.

A going, a growing from stage to stage: From childhood to maturity, From innocence to awareness and ignorance to knowing; From foolishness to discretion and then perhaps, to wisdom. From grief to understanding, from fear to faith; From defeat to defeat to defeat, until, looking backward or ahead: We see that victory lies not at some high place along the way, But in having made the journey, stage by stage, a sacred pilgrimage. Made stage by stage... To life everlasting. by Alvin Fine Birth is a beginning and death a destination;
But life is a journey.
A going, a growing from stage to stage:
From childhood to maturity, From innocence to awareness and ignorance to knowing;
From foolishness to discretion and then perhaps, to wisdom. From grief to understanding, from fear to faith;
From defeat to defeat to defeat, until, looking backward or ahead:
We see that victory lies not at some high place along the way,
But in having made the journey, stage by stage, a sacred pilgrimage. Made stage by stage… To life everlasting.

As an editor he drove me nuts sometimes, but he was the only writer on the TVS crew who consistently made me laugh out loud. I was all set to meet him when during my Minneapolis trip in July, but he backed out at the last second. *Sigh*. A guy who is as good a writer as he was is someone I definitely would have liked to meet in person. If you ever read Adam’s posts, Roger, you’d have probably found a lot in common with Roger.
