Both Please!
"Grandma, what do you love the most, Me or books?"
Well the answer was easy, but the fact that she knows books are one of the major contenders for my heart is no surprise.
"I love you most of all. I love sharing books with you because the stories matter, but we could share stories every day and never open a book or turn on a screen."
"We Could?"
Of course we could. We do. When you tell me about how you are going to work every job when you grow up, and be a pirate and then an astronaut and then teach and then work at Mcdonalds"s those are stories we enjoy right now, long before they come true. And when I tell you about when I was little, or about your Dad as a baby, those are still stories that help you connect to your place in our family.
"I love being in our family."
Me too Sugar girl, more than ever now.
