Visit from Texas and mail from Japan
Hoy Emilio recibio una visita de Texas y un regalo de Japon. La visita fue Amy Nelson, la esposa del primo de Steve, Gary. Por primera vez escuchamos una pequena carcajada de Emilio que le dedico a Amy. Mas tarde, tambien se rio conmigo. Cada dia hace algo nuevo! Amy le trajo dos libros muy lindos, sobre todo Love You Forever.
El regalo era de Barbara Sale, la otra maestra que conoci en China, aqui en la foto a la derecha, con Kathy Kress (la mama de Tao y Maya) . Barbara le mando

Well, I just read "I Love You Forever," and I'll say this: I'm glad I didn't have to read it out loud to anybody because I'm sure my voice would have cracked.
it's okay for your voice to crack when you're reading a sweet book. it's cool. not embarrassing.
Like I said...I still can't get through it without crying.
Neither can I (get through it without crying). Everyone can relate to this little book on some level. It is one of Haley's favorite books. I second Lisa's comment as well. I would be interested to know the circumstances of everyone's experience with this book. My friend, Kristin, and I went on a quest and ended at the big 1/2 Price Books in Dallas. We brought it home, and I tried to read it aloud, without success. Everytime I read it, I think I won't be so affected, but I always am. By the way, the title is "Love You Forever" (without the I). I second Lisa's comment.
The first time I read this book I thought it was too sentimental. the second time, I read it to my students because one of them asked me to do it and my voice cracked big time. Since then, I always have it in my classroom library and I encourage my students to read it but I just can't read it aloud.
