the
University
of

She
has

stories
for
her
grandchildren
for
twenty
years.

At
one
time,
Smith
ran
a
licensed
daycare
in
her
home.
She
also
worked
as
lead
teacher
in
a
daycare
housed
in
a
nursing
home
for
the
children
of
workers
at
the
home.
Young
children

happiness
to

life.
Hearing
a
grandchild
giggle
at
an
appropriate
time
as
she
reads
them
her
newest
story
brings
much
happiness
to
her
heart.

Smith
begins,
“Jean
was
at
work
one
day,
typing
on
her
computer
keyboard.
Suddenly
a
tear
rolled
down
her
cheek
and
made
a
big
splash
on
her
beautiful
green
blouse.
Jean
took
a
tissue
from
her
drawer
to
wipe
her
cheek.
Then
she
went
back
to
her
typing.
Jean
often
cried
with
her
heart,
but
sometimes
her
eyes
cried
too.
She
was
very
sad,
and
so
very
lonely.”

She
continues,
“Her
husband,
Dennis,
flew
on
a
big
airplane
every
Monday
morning
to
get
to
his
job.
On
Friday
at
suppertime,
he
would
fly
back
home.
Since
today
was
Monday,
Dennis
was
looking
out
of
the
airplane
window.
All
of
a
sudden
a
big
tear
rolled
down
his
cheek
and
made
a
big
splash
on
his
jacket.
Dennis
took
a
handkerchief
from
his
pocket
and
wiped
his
cheeks.
Dennis
often
cried
with
his
heart,
but
sometimes
his
eyes
cried
too.
He
was
very
sad,
and
so
very
lonely.”
