You know I love my mom more than anything... I remember being little and
going to the library with my mom... We checked out a book about the journey of
a snow flake and the fact of it being formed and living the cycle of life... I remember lazy summer afternoons listening to my mother read this story to me and my sister and how much I loved every moment of this book... I als0 remember reading a book about the last leaf on a tree to my son before he died and I think about him and reflect about this book, as well as Jonathan livingston seagull and Freddie the leaf. And sometimes I am terrified in the middle of the night and I just want to hold him and to never let him go from me... but sometimes life before us is revealed before it happens.. maybe in childhood books it is almost like a learning plan. It sometimes amazes me how books from our childhood can hold so much to what is before us.

AHHH..I just posted a comment and then lost it. I said that so many books and songs hold memories for me. And that it is good to speak your grief and loss and feelings. There are ears here to hear you.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite children's story was The Little Engine that Could.."I think I can; I think I can!" and a Chinese book called Ping that was my dad's favorite book as a child too.
Keep writing, Kristi!!
