This evening as they were driving along, the child suddenly looked very happy. She shouted and laughed, "Lets go to Borders Book Store."
Grandpa explained they couldn't because Borders were out of business. A while later he looked in the mirror.
She was sitting very quietly. Her face was all scrunged up. The tears where slowly flowing.
"Are you crying"? he asked. She slowly, silently nodded. "Why?", he asked.
A little four-year-old forlorn voice answered, "Borders is gone. I don't want Borders to go."
