My Dad read it to my daughter over and over wheneven we would visit him. It was the first book she always went to find. As the grandkids grew up, Grandma donated all the books, and when my daughter discovered that the book was no longer at Grandpa's house she was so sad. For his 75th birthday, she sent him a new copy and he read it to her the last time we were there. She was 14, and still loved how Grandpa read it. It was the last time she heard the story as he has passed away. She brought the book back home with her and I now will cherish it forever. Oh, I love the Meatball book.

With teaching (as with social work) it seems very rare that you ever get to see any outcome from the work you do. The people are with you for a while, then they leave and any seeds you've planted take a long time to sprout, so you never know whether you made a difference or not. Once in a great while you get to see something like that, and it's awesome, isn't it? That’s great!
