My sweet mother has spent the past 18 months or so learning to read for the second time, having lost that ability to a stroke in Feb '07.
Well.....night before last, at my dining room table, she read the first paragraph of William Faulkner's As I Lay Dying aloud to 13 members of our bookclub.
It was just beautiful. Everybody in the room has followed her progress, so it was really sweet for everyone who was present.
Today would have been her mother's 109th birthday, and Mom spent the day remembering the most minute details of her mother's life. Amazing.
