Indiana learning to read through the years

  • Joey was reading to Indy in her tummy before she was even born. And not long after, she was on her mama's lap turning pages as Joey read. Indy started learning sign language before she was one, and picked it up quickly. She was talking in her two's, and by the time she was three or four, learning to sight read a few words. By five and six, she was sounding words out and actually reading from a series of little Bob books that Ms Rebecca at the schoolhouse had given us. Soon after came Dick & Jane, then the Little House books and on and on.
    The last few days as I've been thinking about this post, I took a video walk down memory lane and put together a small glimpse of Indy learning to read through the years..

    Joey is the first person who I never met, that I cried over and mourned about. Such a great lady! She is stilll an inspiration to me, even from the grave. She would be so proud! I remember when she wanted, so badly, to raise her baby. Even writing this brings tears to my eyes. She held on to the very end, and I can’t wait to ask God….”why?” I trust there is a good reason, it’s just so heartbreaking, even this many years later. Rory, it looks like you have done a wonderful job with this gift from heaven. ♥️♥️ love you both!
