--Tyler in The Bean Trees
by Barbara Kingsolver
When I read that passage I immediately thought of my mom and my grandparents.* The three of them have been the biggest cheerleaders in my life. No matter what I've done, they have always supported me, always believed in me, and always loved me so well. There's no way for me to convey just how thankful I am for them.
*Unfortunately, I don't have any digital pictures of my grandfather. He passed away in 2004. He was my biggest fan; I am so thankful for the time I had with him growing up and the wonderful memories I have of him. I couldn't have asked for a better "grampie."

Kingsolver is one of my favorite authors ever!!!!!!! I'm glad you enjoyed the book and that it provoked some thought.... she always does that for me.

I just never cease to be amazed at how young your grandmother's face remains! She's a great lady.
