This is absolutely beautiful! Ummm, I wonder if there's a "Chicken Soup for the Writer's Soul" that you could send this to? Or is that being too money-grubby? :-)
It's not about that, really, but about sharing this great thing that is true and that so many of us can empathize with.
I had an absent (working) father, a mom who was busy, and I was a homely, lonely child who moved around a lot. I think that without books, I just would not have made it through. They were my secret defense against the bullies and the incomprehensibleness of the world.
