\"\"<\/a>I cannot stress enough how important it is for me to visit bookstores and find books that I want to buy.
\nFor the first time, I visited the “Labour and Wait” shop, after so many years of looking at their products online, and there I found the book written by Charles Phillipson “LETTERS TO MICHAEL”<\/strong> (a father writes to his son 1945-1947).<\/p>\n

Michael started the school in England, in 1944, and he remembered that his father, Charles: “had already made me a small book, containing playful drawings of the alphabet’s upper- and lower-case forms, to encourage my reading.”<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

“In each (letter) he gave equal space to text and drawing, and in the early letters he drew my attention to both spelling and writing’s reliance on silent letters by underlinings.”<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>“Developed as intimate gifts to me, they affirmed his love and revealed his way of engaging with \u00a0my world.”<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I was touched by how a parent can show his love for his son. And I understand that each parent has a unique way of showing it.<\/p>\n
