Love You Forever

When I was pregnant with Noah, one of Allen's aunts gave me a book called "Love You Forever" at the shower Allen's family threw for me. When I opened the book all the women were "ooohhhing and ahhhhhhing" over the book. I had never heard of it before but it apparently it left a mark on everyone there. Everyone kept telling me I would cry when I read this book and to be honest I gave them all a very polite smile and nod of my head but inside I was thinking "what a bunch of weirdos". I read it once to Noah when he was just a few weeks old and while reading it my eyes filled with tears but i quickly blamed it on the hormones still trying to work themselves out. I must have put the book away and it kept getting pushed further and further back in the cabinet because it wasn't until last night that I saw it again. It was bedtime and I asked Noah to go pick out a book and this was the one he came back with. I was excited about it and as I read the book, my eyes started tearing and as I kept reading, the tears started streaming down my face! It really is a great book!!! At one point Noah leaned over and gave me a huge kiss and hug and told me everything would be okay...hahaha...what a sweet kid!

I guess Allen's aunts were right!! I am just a big sap too!! If you are a mother to a son (or more than one) i urge you to read this book...but grab a box of tissues first!!
