Remembering Dads

Happy Father's Day 

to all the dads and granddads and all who loved.

I am adoring reading this book about sweet life,

family, memories

and deep connections.!

"The One Hundred Years of Lenni and Margot 

tells the story of two women, Lenni, a 17-year-old terminally ill patient,

and Margot, an 83-year-old, who connect in a hospital art therapy program.

 They discover their combined ages equal 100 years and decide to create 100 paintings,

one for each year of their lives, to celebrate their combined century.

Through their shared artistic journey and the stories they tell, they find

friendship, love, and meaning in the face of their mortality." 

Here is a quote

I especially loved 

in the voice of Lenni:

'I like the local newspapers best—where the rest of the world doesn’t exist,

and all that matters is the local primary school’s new nature garden and

an old woman who knitted a quilt for charity. Children are turning one

year older, teenagers are graduating, and grandparents are being laid to rest.’
