... In the ecstasy of the prospect of reading on, I would be ready in my pajamas when she called me. I would run downstairs, leap onto he sofa, and wait impatiently while she flipped to the current page and began reading. My mother’s voice was so tranquilizing, that, when she began reading, my every worry would cease and my every fear would vanish. ...

No matter how old I get, I will never cease to find joy in the sound of my mother reading, however seldom that may be.
