new season as it comes, sons-in-law, daughters-in-law, and
grandchildren.
As the mother reflects upon the last thirty-two years, she
smiles, realizing that though the days were long, truly the

tion of her children was not only for the children’s sake. God,
through the works of Charlotte Mason, taught her a love
for learning which will continue through the rest of her life.
