She’s Beautiful: Should We be Writing About Our Kids? Part Four

Yesterday I shared Trish’s gorgeous piece about her daughter Abbie. Now, reading that, you might wonder what Abbie thought when she saw it. In fact, she sat in a crowded auditorium and cried as her mom read it aloud, through her own tears. (Trish did share it with her before the reading — Abbie cried then, too.)

I won’t tell you how much Abbie loved the piece — and how much she loves her mom. I’ll let her do that herself, in an essay she wrote for English class not long after the reading.
