Reading Red

It's official. Delilah can read. She's been sounding out words forever, but today was something different. It was fluid. Today, for the first time, Delilah picked up a book she had never seen and read it all the way through by herself. It moved me so deeply. So this is a post of gratitude for being able to witness the moment that someone's life changed. I know how dramatic that sounds, but I can't help it. I think about all the classics she will get to read for the first time, and the as-yet-unwritten books that will shape her soul. Books have always been my treasure and when I think about the world that has just opened for sweet Red, it makes my heart sing.
