“Cambria, how are you feeling today? Are you ready for Grammy to read to you from a new book?”

“Grammy, I’m too sad to listen to a story right now.”

“What’s wrong love?”

“This Covid virus is killing me.It’s making my spirit dead.I miss my friends and my teacher from school. School on the computer is no fun, and there is nobody to help me when I’m stuck on the work. Mom and Dad won’t take Tallin and me and the dogs for long walks any more, because Mom is afraid of me getting the virus since I was so sick for such a long time before, and that old virus is still sleeping in my head.

And Grammy, I miss your hugs and kisses. Tallin does too, though he won’t ever say it, since boys don’t talk about feelings.”

“How about trying to draw a picture of something that makes you so happy that you smile when you even think about it.”

“I really want to color happy things for you, but only sadness is inside me now. Is that a tear coming down your face? Call Papa into the room, and tell him to give you a great big hug.”

“ That’s just what I will do Cam, right after we are finished.”

“Grammy, will reading to me make you feel better?”

“Yes sweetheart.”

“Then start reading to me right away. I love you Grammy.”

“Cambria, I love you tons and tons. The story is about a little girl who grew up to be a strong and confident woman, just like I’m sure that you will as well.The girl’s name is Michelle.”
