It probably reminded them of age spots on their bellies.

MGM says,

Enjoyed the 6WM and congratulations on the feature, Sabel! And to RedStickWriter, your comment is too funny!

Contemplative says,

The memories made and recalled and the sensitivity shared among youngster and seniors very similar, at times. Maybe a mix of happy and sad tears, at the same time. Beautifully done!

L2L3 says,

Congrats on the feature. Don't see much of you these days...?????

Sabel says,

I should probably clarify a few things. Firstly, (and I hope it doesn't cmompletely ruin the memior for people) I am a high school teacher and meant that I read with my two classes of senior students. I should also mention that I read "Oh, The Places You'll Go", and they weren't crying alone. It is a tradition I started my first year of teaching, and on our last day together, we have a walk down our 180 day memory lane with a booklet I make for them, and I read Seuss to them. All in all, very emtional both happy and sad. I know L2L3.... it's been a long time. I check often, but don't post as much as I did because school and personal have been exceptionally trying this year. School ends this week, and I hope to back to my regular posting/participating self next week. I hope all my old friends are still around and want to "play".

It doesn't ruin the memoir at all. Beautiful tradition and story!
