Reading Closeness

I lounge with a child under my arm, the last one who snuggles up close to read together. Our magical reading to each other days are numbered, hence the eagerness on my part to enjoy as much as possible. I do not believe in stretching good things beyond their appropriate season. But I do want to milk it for all its worth while we have the strength and breath and attention span to surrounded ourselves with storied words. As she has written on our bookmark, "Just 10,000 more books to read and only one life to live."
