From "DANCING WITH MY GRANDMOM". We danced for a long time in that clearing until I woke up. It was one of the nicest dreams I can remember because I have not seen my grandmom for a long time. I think of her often. Seeing her in my dream was wonderful. Dancing with her was awesome! I hope you dance often, Bowen. Also, I hope you have dreams which cause you to wake up to music, with love in your heart and a big smile on your face.

About the Book
When Alice Lachman received an invitation to her grandson Bowen’s first birthday party, she had no idea that she would soon be creating an unforgettable, poignant collection of letters and stories for a time capsule to be opened by Bowen at a later date. Letters to Bowen: A Time Capsule chronicles the history, events, values, interactions, and enduring love of one family through the eyes of Alice—wife, mother, and devoted “grandmom” to little Bowen. Alice begins her loving legacy to her grandson with the story of his birth and continues with amusing and enlightening tales about his mother’s life, dreams that have both inspired and comforted her, and ideas from deep within her heart. While sharing her own hopes for Bowen’s future through her letters, Alice also incorporates additional stories about people she has never met, but whose personal stories forever touched her. Accompanied by family photographs, Letters to Bowen is a loving tribute to a family whose evolution of values, beliefs, and love is forever interconnected through not only generations linked by genes, but also by beautiful memories.
