On a recent trip to Boston, I got to spend some time with my oldest son, Terry and his wife, Amy, along with grandchildren Kiernan and Bridget. What a neat family! It was a wonderful time for me, getting to know the grandkids a little better, and to have them get to know me, living so far away. One of the highlights of my visit was sharing a love of reading with my grandaughter. Bridget has a love of books that I hope never leaves her. Having been a bookworm all of my life, I love being able to spend time reading with grandchildren especially when I can see their eyes light up while taking in new words, sounds and characters. I must have read 30 or 40 little books with Bridget in the time that I was there and I enjoyed it every bit as much as her! I can only hope that her love of reading stays with her always. Her parents are readers and encourage her to do the same, so I am sure that she is well on her way to bibliophilia!
