Happy Birthday

July 3, 2014

happy

I want to wish a happy birthday to the woman who made me the reader I am today: my mother. Thank you for every book you gave me for my birthday and at Easter, for telling the school librarian that you were aware of the books I was reading and she did not need to be involved, all the Nancy Drews and later the first editions of authors I loved, and for letting me stay up way past my bedtime reading in bed- a habit we both have to this day. Thank you, Mom, for giving me this marvelous gift, for fostering and nurturing my love of books for making my life so much richer. I love you dearly.
