Because of Winn Dixie

"I could feel her listening with all her heart, and it felt good."

Gloria Dump is really turning out to be a lovely friend to Opal. Pleases share your thoughts about their budding friendship.

Also, I really love how the preacher listed 10 things about Opal's mom. For fun, you can experiment making a top 10 list about your mom, yourself or any important person in your life.
Enjoy!
