Wonderful story on lasting impact.

And how wonderful for you to have impacted that little girl so much that she remembered you all these years later! Job well done

I think it's a book for everyone. My parents have done some of this without reading the book as has my mother in law, but you don't have to wait until you are in your 70s or 80s or 90s to do this (my mother in law is now 94, my parents are both in their 80s now, which is still hard for me to believe with my mother who will be 81 this spring!)
