Your compliments are a bit overwhelming and truly appreciated. For those who are not aquainted with Glenn's work I would highly suggest you get a copy of his books and read them. You will not be disappointed. A man who stoops to help a child is a king among kings. Thank you very much Glenn. Your compliments are a bit overwhelming and truly appreciated.

Selecting only 6 authors from a cast of hundreds is no easy task, but I looked at the personal writings of each to make the decision. You wrote about your daughter, displaying true emotion, plus you have continued with your writings and never wavered. That, I felt, showed magnificent accomplishment. I wish you the best.

It's amazing how many children don't read for pleasure and those that just don't have the means, would do anything to get their hands on any book. Some of the ones that do though, only read what they must for their chosen school subjects - they have no choice. This, I believe, prohibits them from broadening their minds. These have little or no support from their parents. I know that I would feel completely empty without books. As for the parents that 'don't have the time', I see this, on a daily basis. It's a sad situation where most, not all, are just too self involved in their own lives to care much about what their children are doing. They unfortunately find it easier to leave kids to their own devices such as sitting in front of the TV all day or playing games. I always read to my son and it became a staple before lights off. One of the best times of my life and his. You set a wonderful example of what we should all be doing. As I already admire you for your amazing ability as an author and for the selfless person that you are, I now admire you for caring enough.... Glenn, what you are accomplishing here, is just wonderful. It’s amazing how many children don’t read for pleasure and those that just don’t have the means, would do anything to get their hands on any book.

Watching a loved one suffer is the toughest of all. But I have to admit that saying that prayer a child scared the bejessus out me as I felt each night was meant to be my last. Funny how you see things as a child. Your blog was poignantly written. Watching a loved one suffer is the toughest of all.

I am a Nurse and I work with several patients with Alzheimer's as well as other debilitating illnesses. Funny you should say 'the bedtime prayer'. Several years ago, I was with a woman who was in her last hours and she asked me to say a prayer for her, and that was the only one I could think of. She smiled and said, "that was perfect." I'll never forget that. That was a wonderful post, Glenn. I am a Nurse and I work with several patients with Alzheimer’s as well as other debilitating illnesses.
