"Last night, she took his iPod and scrolled through all the pictures. Early this morning she began to read cards made for her by some 4th graders! Her unbandaged eye tracked the lines, she opened the cards and turned them over reading the back. Mark's gotten pages of large print of Harry Potter's 1st book for her to hold and read."

This really touched me. I assume he knows his wife's interest and gave her Harry because he knew she would like it or is already a fan.
May the magic of Harry Potter and JK Rowling hasten her healing toward a complete recovery!!
One book she always intended to get to. I hope Harry can lighten the burden a little.
ReplyDeleteThanks for that info, Elaine. I know many people have said that reading Harry Potter helped them through a difficult time. I truly hope it does for her as well!
ReplyDeleteReading can be such a healing experience in general and Harry's so packed full of laughter and magic, I'm sure it will soothe. Neat story. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteHi Lu -- Thanks for visiting and following! I love your new Harry Potter blog, but also your archaeology one as well. I haven't studied archaeology, but am fascinated with it. Welcome!
ReplyDeleteThanks Victoria. I always love how JKR weaves the laughter throughout her book, even the later, darker ones.
ReplyDeleteThat's actually unbelievably touching. It was such a horrible tragedy. I'm glad to hear she's on the road to recovery. And the idea that HP is helping is pretty cool.
ReplyDeleteOMGosh that's just a little bit of awesome! Healing Harry Potter indeed...
ReplyDeleteI agree, Lisa and BookGeek. I can't wait to hear that she's been able to read the book, and then hear her comments on it when she's able to speak!
