I just finished Joe Biden's book, Promise Me, Dad. I knew the ending before I read the first page and yet I read, finding inspiration and hope.
At one point in the evening, sitting on the porch with the distant sounds of a dogs barking and children bike-riding....my thoughts drifted to the power of a good book to take us away! As a child, I regularly escaped in books. As an adult, I am grateful for the reading and writing skills that allow me to escape into a good book.....even when I know the ending.......even when I know I will be sad.....
Which reminds me that, "In the end, we all become stories and memories." Margaret Atwood
