Misadventurous Melissa

Everyday is an adventure, or misadventure as the case may be. It is the latter that makes for the best stories, inspiring the name of my blog. I'm a nurse and an attorney (and way too silly sometimes). I am retired now. WELCOME to my blog! This is a work of fiction inspired by true events. The patients I refer to are a patchwork quilt of various patient's problems mixed together. If you think you recognize someone, you are wrong. These people do not really exist.

Rosh Hashanah

One Rosh Hashanah morning, the Rabbi noticed little Adam was staring up at the large plaque that hung in the foyer of the synagogue. It was covered with names, and small American flags were mounted on either side of it. The seven-year old had been staring at the plaque for some time, so the Rabbi walked up, stood beside the boy, and said quietly, "Good morning, Adam.""Good morning, Rabbi," replied the boy, still focused on the plaque."Rabbi Resnick, what is this?" he asked."Well," the Rabbi said, "it's a memorial to all the young men and women who died in the service."Soberly, they stood together, staring at the large plaque. Finally, Adam spoke. His voice was barely audible when he asked: "Was it the Rosh Hashanah service, or Yom Kippur service?"
