Gifts of Love

It has truly been a wonderful birthday week!

My sister celebrated it with my favorite Disney story and its theme song, “Frozen Fever.”

Many friends and relatives sent me messages, and called to wish me a “Happy Birthday.”

My husband, daughters, and homestay son and his family gave me several surprise gifts.

Her note at the end of her letter:

P.S. These are the books for you. They are symbolic of the love of books and reading that you have helped to cultivate in me. Thank you for sharing with me the joy of learning, of stories, of languages, and of the power of reading.

These are the good old days of our “cultivation of the love of books and reading”.

I love to share the story of my life, which is a wonderful gift from God!
