RE: The Best Gifts aren't Wrapped!

Your father sounds amazing and it's clear you love him deeply. He read the Hobbit to you? Wow. That was the second book my son read at 6 after he read The Twits by Roald Dahl, excruciating slowly aloud on a car trip to Scotland. He WAS only six so I can forgive him.

I love the story of you rushing to the pulpit 😂😂😂

Don't feel too guilty about leaving home and spreading your wild wings. Many of us do, finding our own selves independent of our parents, and then we come back to them.

And yes, expanding our world view and being willing to understand others with compassion is essential l, especially in today's world more than ever.

Great piece of writing as always. Reblogged.

Haha! I love that you have your own memories of young ones and Tolkien 💕 I'm planning on getting the hobbit for my 4-year-old for Christmas, it may be a bit too soon, but I'll never know till I try! It's super impressive that your son could read the hobbit at age 6, he must have a really great mother 😉 !LUV

Thank you for the soothing words 😁, life is funny... Now that I understand the place of wildness in youth, I can transition into preparing for my own kids to do the same to me 🤣

Thank you for this wonderful comment and the reblog my friend ❤️😁
