just finished Fiddler on the Roof.

So much happy crying. So much sad crying.

Tevye reminds me so much of my poppa. His humor, his sarcasm, his deep love for his daughters and his God.

and so…

I cry when he gives Tzeitel and Motel permission to marry.
I cry at their wedding.
I cry when he gives Hodel and Perchik his blessing.
I cry when Hodel leaves for Siberia to join her husband.
I cry when Tevye disowns his daughter Chava for falling in love with a Russian.
and I cry when they leave Anatevka.
