“And we didn’t know how to read very well and my mother didn’t have much money but what my mother did do was make me join a book club and every month, I would get a book and this book right here taught me how to read,” she said as she held a copy of Dr. Suess’ Oh, the Places You’ll Go.

“That’s all that I can say. You’re beautiful. I love you so much and I’ll see you soon,” she concluded. “So I just want to thank her and Dr. Seuss.”
