Wow, Julie -- didn't know this background story of you...you have a lot of "hidden stories" up your sleeve! ;-) (don't we all!) 😘

Thanks for sharing this with me --- and yes, I hope/pray/wish that the boys will be avid readers...they're all doing engineering and math, but we throw books at them and I make sure they don't stop reading their news!!! ;-)

To this day, I have never seen my dad read a book...mom a few...

Wow only realized that as I wrote that to you. hmmm. Thanks for reading and sharing your reflection with me.
