Now though, my Dad started reading a little and we trade books on occasion and my Mom likes Jodi Picoult so we often trade those back and forth. My one sister got into reading a few years ago, and would regularly steal books from me.

My Father died when I was six and my Mother was busy working to keep food on the table so I don't remember her reading many books but she did read the paper every day. Both my sister and I love to read so I know she encouraged us even though she did could not spend that much time reading herself.JC Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00465446051021667245noreply@blogger.com
