The Library

"When an old person dies, a library is lost."

I recently read this quote in Mrs. Dunwoody's Excellent Homekeeping Instructions Book and it struck me as quite profound.

My hope is, that not only will I become a library as I age, but that I write it all down to share with future generations, so that all I one day have to offer might not be lost forever. May it be so.
