    That’s quite beautiful. They are, “each the other’s world entire.” Although, I hope you say, “I love you” a bit more than pops did in The Road, lol.

    Do you mean that it helped you cope with the flipside of joy and fear that comes with having a child?

    I highly encourage it! I’m going to read All the Pretty Horses after hearing this news. Remember these final days before you meet one of the greatest literary characters I’ve ever encountered: The Judge.

    Warning: It’s a difficult book. Thankfully, I read it with a class that kept me honest. Don’t feel any shame if you want to use something like LitCharts. You can use it without paying. That’s how I am, at least. When I try reading a dense classic and it turns into a slog, if I get frustrated I’ll just fall off.

    However, I think its themes are important today and the questions it asks of the reader can lead to some serious growth and reflection.
