This was my first copy when I was 10years old. After reading it, every other book I borrowed from the library was a mythology book. I'd lost the book while I was in the States.
My husband gave me his copy while we were still dating.
In one of our lovely email exchanges, he wrote, "You really deserve it more than I do. The copy you had when you were younger was a really nice copy. I know my tattered old high school paperback doesn't even hold a candle to it. But i hope it inspires you to read the book a million times more. You will definitely tell Psyche the history of her name, and SHE will tell you how HER name will make history."
I still read it everyday (if only in the bathroom *giggles*)
So last night, I climbed into Psyche's bed and told her the story of Psyche and Cupid, my favorite love story.
She then asked me where Cupid was and I told her he would come if she prayed.So we prayed. And she said:
Dear God,
Make me a good girl.
Take care of me.
Protect me.
Don't let mama be mad at me.
And thank papa for the light [her nightlight].
And let Cupid find me.
Amen.
wow cute.. psyche and cupid's love story is one of the best ever.. :-)
