From Wiki (as they said it better than me):
The story begins while a son has just been born. The story then continues through the life of the boy until he is a grown man. The mother continues to rock her son to sleep singing "I'll love you forever, I'll like you for always, as long as I'm living my baby you'll be." Later, the role is reversed and he holds his elderly mother as she is dying and says "I'll love you forever I'll like you for always as long as I'm living my mommy you'll be." At the very end of the story, he is the father of a little girl, rocking her to sleep the same song that his mother used to sing to him.
I'm tearing up as I write this and about to call home - this is a doozy of a book but possibly one of the most meaningful 32 pages ever written that a parent & child can share.
Happy Holidays everyone - be safe & be happy!  |
my two year old can quote every page of that book. And anyone who says they don't get emotional reading it is a robot.
