I'll love you forever,
I'll like you for always,
As long as I'm living
My Mommy you'll be.
When the son came home that night, he stood for a long time
at the top of the stairs. Then he went into the room where his very new baby daughter was sleeping.
He picked her up in his arms and very slowly rocked her back and forth, back and forth, back and forth.
And while he rocked her he sang:
I'll love you forever
I'll like you for always,
As long as I'm living
My baby you'll be.

What a touching and beautiful thread this is.....

I know this book where these verses are from (I love you Forever) - I bought it for my son when he was just a baby and we used to read it all the time and we even made up a tune for the words so we could sing the wonderful words: As Long as I'm living my baby you'll be.... It follows a boys life through his mother's loving eyes till he's a grown man and she is old and feeble.

I still have it somewhere, I think I'll look for it today and remind him of about it (he's a teen now)

Whatever prompted this thread, I hope you are hanging in there and know we all know the pain of loss and it's something we share with you.

I'm saving this thread with all these wonderful sentiments too as we have someone gravely ill in our family and we may need reminding of how to cope with the pain soon enough.
