Delightful. What you and your granddaughter shared through serendipity, I experienced every day from earliest chilldhood. My parents taught poetry, recited it from memory and poured it over my head, trusting me to be enchanted. I didn’t have to understand the words to feel the mood and the music.

Wonderful story. I love how you trusted her and her choice, then trusted your own bravest thought, and together you let life just flow along.

Very sweet. I'll remember this story. Maybe your granddaughter will become a poet.

She's ready for her MFA now! I read LUNCH POEMS in grad school (way back when I was a poetry MFA) :) And that photo - what an adorable girl!

Beautiful. I would have loved to have seen into her dreams that night. I'm now seeing dogs wrapped in birthday blankets.
