Dear Mr. Henshaw

I was going through some boxes of books to have Madeline start reading since she is doing the Summer Reading program at the library and I came across my copy of Dear Mr. Henshaw. It was one of my favorite books growing up. I read it many times during my parents divorce and I used to relate a lot to the boy in the story.

When I met Ryan when I was 18 I was managing a skate shop and a cute long haired boy started to work with me. We were discussing books I really can't recall how it came up but he went down to the bookstore and bought me this book. He barely knew me at that time and we had just met and I realize now almost 8 years later that was the one of the nicest things anyone has ever done for me. We are not big on anniversary's or gifts etc but that means more to me now than it did when I was 18 and I have the best husband. We may not always get along or agree but he has the best heart and he is truly my soul mate.
