She nurtured my love of reading well before I started school. Our many visits to the library remain among my fondest memories. She was an avid reader of romance fiction and women's fiction. Adored doing crossword puzzles. Your mention of playing word games with your father reminded me of similar times with my mother. Indeed, our loved ones who are no longer with us physically will always live in our hearts and minds as those who brought us much love--for them, for our family members, and for the written word :)ShawnaMoorehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03396205878623438185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33660293.post-14924445588367201052009-02-11T16:03:00.000-05:002009-02-11T16:03:00.000-05:00Very touching, Vicky. My father also loved books. He dropped out of school in 10th grade to join the army and fight in WWII but he continued his education his entire life by reading. I'm sure my love of the written word came from him. I wish he'd been around to see me get published.<BR/>And Scrabble is huge in our house and very competitive.Susan Kelleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02669793865290876168noreply@blogger.com
