Mom

The Reading Mother

You may have tangible wealth untold: caskets of jewels and coffers of gold.

But richer than you can never be, for I had a mother who read to me.This month I've been thinking of all the things I'm thankful for.

Of course I'm thankful for my family and friends, good health, community, etc.

But one thing that has really stood out was my Mom.

There are a million reasons I'm thankful for her, but one is she read

to me when I was little, and I believe as a result I've read to my kids.

And I love the fact that they love books!

Zachary has always loved books. I would read to him every nap time and

every bed time. I haven't been that fortunate with the girls.

However they absolutely love books. Anytime anyone comes

to visit they start dragging out their books, and if you read

them one you read them all.

Mom is the librarian at the elementary school, and I've never met

someone so perfect for their job. Everywhere we go we hear

Miss Lorie, Miss Lorie. I love it.

So this Thanksgiving I'm so very thankful to my Mom

and her love of books.

Love you Mom
