Pat Conroy Quotes

It Took Lucy Forty Hours To Die And We Hardly Left Her Side ... We Spent Those Last Hours Kissing Her Frequently And Telling Her How Deeply We Loved Her. Then I Began To Read Leah's Children's Books Out Loud To Her. She Had Lived A Storyless Childhood, So I Read In The Last Day Of Her Life The Books She Had Missed. I Told Her About Winnie The Pooh And Yertle The Turtle, Took Her Where The Wild Things Are, Introduced Her To Peter Rabbit And Alice In Wonderland. Each Of Us Took Turns Reading To Her Out Of Grimm's Fairy Tales, And, At The Very Last, Leah Insisted That I Tell All The Great Dog Chippie Stories I Had Told Her During Our Year Of Exile From The Family In Rome.
