it is not “moishys sad purim”
although we know he cries for his parents sometimes, give him some space, let him have happiness
do we always have to assume he is sad?
he is going to grow up soon and go to school. if everybody pities him and is nice to him just because of what happened, do you think that will help him lead a normal life?

Puppet

a YOEC coined phrase

give the kid his space!

come on this isn’t some trashy tabloid milking someone else’s misfortune to the last drop.
It’s sad, it’s horrible, but give the family their space to recover!

aaaaa

so sad cant stop crying at least i saw this article after purim
but i pity moishi for something else, that he will grow up in the shadow of journalists, newspaper reporters and stuff like that
LEAVE HIM TO GROW UP LIKE A NORMAL CHILD! HE HAD ENOUGH CHANGES IN HIS YOUNG LIFE!

It is so sad

He looks bewildered in this picture. It must be so confusing to him not to have his parents around. Even if he has moments of happiness, his life has been turned upside down and he doesn’t have the maturity to understand what has happened.

he looks so cute!

why is it titled “sad purim”? of course it’s sad that he doesn’t have his parents, may he be reunited with them very soon, with the coming of moshiach! however, purim is purim… he doesn’t look like he’
s crying in the picture! is he allowed to be happy?
