Two Kiddush cups...

...one empty, one filled - both Avi's - were at our Seder table.

Avi owned two Kiddush cups - one for year round, the other for Pesach.

I placed his empty Pesach cup at the center of the Seder plate.
Our table was empty of his presence, his words, his Torah, his humor, his love...

The other cup, I filled with wine along side the Cup of Elijah. Nobody drank from either cup.

Jews continue to pine for the return of Elijah.
I continue to pine for Avi.

All in vain...
