A terrific way to keep that bond close and keep up the quality time for my daughter with her Daddy. Thank you so much. This really means a lot to us’. ‘My young fellow, seven years old, reads the book and listens to the CD every three or four days so he can listen to dad’

  17. Reading with My Father • ‘I thought it was fantastic that I could send two books I read out to my kids, but I could hardly believe my kids sent a book they read back to me. • It was good for my kids to listen to my voice because I haven’t seen them for a couple of years. My kids said it was good to hear my voice and that I read a book for them’.
