Thank you for posting !! That is an awesome story. Yes. Reading aloud can be a very valuable and memorable experience. You reminded me of one of my fondest memories with my daughter: reading The Hobbit to her, cover to cover, in preparation to see the movies.
You have inspired me to make an attempt to read stories aloud to her more often - before she gets too old to want to spend any time with dad :)
Again, thank you for sharing. And I am sorry to hear about your wife’s passing. I will keep you in my prayers.
Also, I am going to pick up a copy of that version of Beowolf !!!
That would be awesome! How old was she?

A great plan. She'll remember it forever. You can't pay money for that kind of memory.

Thank you very much. Prayers are always appreciated, but I'm good. She had inflammatory breast cancer (look it up... no lump. It presents as an infection to most doctors, and if they don't catch it early, it's too freaking late because it grows =much= faster than other cancers.) Both my wife and I decided to look at it as a blessing from the Lord. Not everyone gets the opportunity know it's coming and to say goodbye. Yeah, you never say enough, but she was blessed by the Lord. Everyone who knew her, would tell you that, straight up.
Btw, as a bit of advise. Tell your wife and children you love them every single day. It is still not enough, but ... it matters.
