Read This Book

"'Sometimes,' my five-year-old son said into my shoulder that night, 'life is so beautiful, you just have to cry'."

--from I'm Proud of You: My Friendship with Fred Rogers by Tim Madigan. This book made me sob and want to be a better human being.

I just saw this at the library the other day, but hadn't heard any reviews. I think I might need to check it out.

Got my calendar-thank you!

Lori, I wish we lived closer...or at least that you had a several week stay in New York City every weekend.

Will look up this book. I never heard of it, but Fred Rogers is one of my all time favorite human beings.

Oh I can't wait! I am putting this on hold now. This is my first time commenting on your blog but I've followed you off and on since we started our adoption. Also I feel like I know you because our town is so small and I'm friends with Lisa/Davy/Andy and great friends with a mom of one of Abe's schoolmates.

Anyway...I've nominated you for a Liebster Award...I hope you don't mindhttp://loveisaquatic.blogspot.com/2012/02/liebster-blog-award.html
