So I totally sympathise with your loss.<br /><br />I am trying to find a book I loved as a child in which a boy called Dominic goes off to the woods (maybe forest!) with his dog, Benedict, and riding his pony, Valerian. He picks blackberries and drinks goat's milk and has what I thought of as a lovely time. There was a sense of freedom in the story that I think I must've identified with. Any ideas??<br /><br /><br />SueSue Redshawnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-938617987945183593.post-76768892584999706542012-08-27T23:21:07.063-05:002012-08-27T23:21:07.063-05:00We own this one, too, and it is my youngest son...We own this one, too, and it is my youngest son's favorite book.

But, to be sure, if he lived for fifty years and then died, what would become of me?” <br />I hope you are bearing up.Tiffanynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-938617987945183593.post-244998814877983492012-05-30T16:08:25.524-05:002012-05-30T16:08:25.524-05:00What a lovely post.
