Holly, who only learned to read in the past year, reads over my shoulder a
lot. I was going to send an e-mail to friends who had brought her a belated
birthday gift, on November 6, and she said "Wait, mom." She just leaned past
me, and editted my e-mail. I've meant to share it here ever since. Here it

She just got it!!!

Thank you.

Actually, when she got it I was on the phone with AppleCare (Canadian
contractors--all with cute Canadian accents) getting my computer to go. It
woke up with a big question mark on its face this morning. That always
scares the HECK out of me, that I'll lose everything I have.

Thank you so much for thinking of her, and as usual you got PERFECT things.
You have a knack for knowing what Holly likes!!

It makes me feel so good inside because so many schoolkids mumble when they
read but I don't have to. 10/6/02
