We shared with our girls what all of us here on YT have shared with their babies. I know here on YT people truly understand the love.
This book is really wonderful. Several years ago when I did a great deal of research and analysis of it, it was considered the most widely read book other than the Bible. It's very short (the Spark Notes are much longer), and it has beautiful illustrations. My niece recently bought me the pop up version that came out less than two years ago, and today in my school library, I saw it made into a graphic novel in French and English. There are two greeting cards made by Papyrus with quotes from the book, and the attached photo is the cover of the one with the stars quote (this quote is the older translation). The other card has its most famous quote: "It is only with it is only with the heart that one can see rightly, what is essential is invisible to the eye." The one with the stars is a sympathy card. I was unable to find it for a while, and I contacted Papyrus, thinking it had been discontinued. They told me it is one of their most popular cards. I got this photo from their site where they sell them online.
Kathy, you are always so supportive, and it means so much to me. I always appreciate all that you've done to help me cope with my loss of Ashley.
