Turning The Pages of Childhood


URL: http://www.jewishjournal.com/articles/item/turning_the_pages_of_childhood_20040723

"Mommy, will you read to me?"

My 10-year-old daughter asks me this question every night. Even if I'm exhausted, or just want some time to myself, I almost always say yes. Before I turn around, she'll be 11, then 12, then a teenager.

She will no longer need her reading fix with Mommy. "Time will not be ours forever," as Ben Jonson wrote back in 1607, when the printed word was still a new invention. I want to make this time with my daughter last.
