We had a very interesting Pesach. I had invited a couple whose grown children were all away for Pesach to come to both sedarim. I have done this for several years now – it is not so easy for the wife to prepare for the sedarim anymore. They live within walking distance, but it is hard for the wife to walk too much, so she was dropped off by car before we bensched licht, and had a wheelchair to use for the walk home. Unfortunately, the wheelchair turned out to be not in the best state of repair, and she could not sit in it, so she ended actually walking home holding onto the wheelchair for some support. By the middle of the night she was in terrible pain from back and leg ailments from the walking, and her husband came by to tell us that there was unfortunately no way she could walk over for the second seder. So, we packed up all the food that I had prepared for the next seder, put it in my granddaughter’s stroller that we keep at my house as a backup, and brought the seder to our friends. We had a wonderful time, and they were so happy not to have to be alone. I would not trade the look on their faces, for all the free hotel accommodations in the world.
