Love You Forever


A mother held her new baby and very slowly rocked him back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. And while she held him, she sang:



I'll love you forever,

I'll like you for always,

As long as I'm living

my baby you'll be.



The baby grew. He grew and he grew and he grew. He grew until he was two years old, and he ran all around the house. He pulled all the books off the shelves. He pulled all the food out of the refrigerator and he took his mother's watch and flushed it down the toilet. Sometimes his mother would say, "this kid is driving me CRAZY!"



But at night time, when that two-year-old was quiet, she opened the door to his room, crawled across the floor, looked up over the side of his bed; and if he was really asleep she picked him up and rocked him back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. While she rocked him she sang:



I'll love you forever,

I'll like you for always,

As long as I'm living

my baby you'll be.



The little boy grew. He grew and he grew and he grew. He grew until he was nine years old. And he never wanted to come in for dinner, he never wanted to take a bath, and when grandma visited he always said bad words. Sometimes his mother wanted to sell him to the zoo!



But at night time, when he was asleep, the mother quietly opened the door to his room, crawled across the floor and looked up over the side of the bed. If he was really asleep, she picked up that nine-year-old boy and rocked him back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. And while she rocked him she sang:



I'll love you forever,

I'll like you for always,

As long as I'm living

my baby you'll be.



The boy grew. He grew and he grew and he grew. He grew until he was a teenager. He had strange friends and he wore strange clothes and he listened to strange music. Sometimes the mother felt like she was in a zoo!



But at night time, when that teenager was asleep, the mother opened the door to his room, crawled across the floor and looked up over the side of the bed. If he was really asleep she picked up that great big boy and rocked him back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. While she rocked him she sang:



I'll love you forever,

I'll like you for always,

As long as I'm living

my baby you'll be.




That teenager grew. He grew and he grew and he grew. He grew until he was a grown-up man. He left home and got a house across town. But sometimes on dark nights the mother got into her car and drove across town. If all the lights in her son's house were out, she opened his bedroom window, crawled across the floor, and looked up over the side of his bed. If that great big man was really asleep she picked him up and rocked him back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. And while she rocked him she sang:



I'll love you forever,

I'll like you for always,

As long as I'm living

my baby you'll be.



Well, that mother, she got older. She got older and older and older. One day she called up her son and said, "You'd better come see me because I'm very old and sick." So her son came to see her. When he came in the door she tried to sing the song. She sang:



I'll love you forever,

I'll like you for always...



But she couldn't finish because she was too old and sick. The son went to his mother. He picked her up and rocked her back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. And he sang this song:



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.

Love You Forever -- a children's book, but it's beautiful.

u/roadnottaken · 12 pointsr/daddit

Have you read this? Have some tissues handy the first time you read it...

u/NinjaHighfive · 9 pointsr/AskReddit

Love You Forever.

Oh Dear god- the tears are coming.

u/daaaamngirl88 · 8 pointsr/Parenting

Stay away from this one then. Can't read it without tears dammit. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/0920668372?pc_redir=1411538020&robot_redir=1

"I'll love you forever

I'll like you for always

As long as you're living

My baby you'll be."

It's from I'll Love You Forever by Robert Munsch. It's a story of a mother who sings that to her son at different stages of his life.

u/MetalJunkie101 · 7 pointsr/funny

I'm not trying to ruin the funny, but this is definitely the saddest book ever published. http://www.amazon.com/Love-You-Forever-Robert-Munsch/dp/0920668372

oh my god he's quoting the children's book love you forever

u/Throwtendo · 3 pointsr/Showerthoughts

There’s a book with this sentiment that my mom always read to me as a kid:

u/greenmangosfool · 3 pointsr/ttcafterloss

I don't think it is specifically quite what you're looking for but it may work. Love You Forever is written to/about the author's two stillborn babies. This book is a standby for many parents who don't even realize it's true backstory.

u/Pixelated_Penguin · 3 pointsr/TwoXChromosomes

Yes, the first 10 minutes of UP are a killer. Pixar's good at that, though... Jessie's song in Toy Story 2, and LOTS of stuff in Toy Story 3, especially when the clown doll is telling Lotso's story. Also, most of Fox and the Hound.

I got out my dad's obituary today, to try to get my seven-year-old to read it (he wasn't interested... I'll try again in a year or so). Couldn't get through that without crying. (My dad was a prominent local historian; a week after he died, a reporter from the LA Times called to fact-check something with him... when I told her of his death, she asked what she could do, and I said "Make sure there's a great obituary of him." She succeeded!)

Edit: OH, and I totally forgot! We have this book called Love You Forever, and I basically can't read it to my kids because it just makes me bawl every. single. time.

u/alwaysnude · 3 pointsr/pics

I've never heard of this book, and I'm 36 with two kids.

Does that mean I have terrible parents, or I'm a terrible parent, or both?

BTW, it's available on Amazon for $0.01 used, so it might be a bargain.

u/matthank · 2 pointsr/AskReddit

I am reading a book right now about ER stories, in real life.

Some are funny, some are gruesome, some are extremely poignant.

Emergency!

Also: Love You Forever by Robert Munsch

u/smapte · 2 pointsr/writing

it reminds me a bit of love you forever in that it's really targeted as adults. the good thing is, love you forever is immensely popular, so there is a potential market for this type of material. just be very clear who your audience is.

u/Mox_Ruby · 2 pointsr/Marriage

The author of the giving tree looks like a psychopath.

This one is even worse.

Niagara Falls.

u/Captain___Obvious · 2 pointsr/AskReddit

When my kids were born, just came over me all of a sudden

Reading Love you forever to my daughter

u/Gibcat · 2 pointsr/AskReddit

This thread reminds me of the Robert Munsch book, Love You Forever. I used to read that to my daughters and I don't think I ever got through it without choking up a bit.

u/OnceAndFutureMustang · 2 pointsr/movies

I was going to say this, but boy that song is sad. Even thinking about it weighs my heart down. It's like that book "Love You Forever" by Robert Munsch
that made me cry so hard in second grade.

Songs about growing up and getting old really wreck you.

u/yukifan01 · 2 pointsr/Random_Acts_Of_Amazon

FINALLY got all of my christmas shopping done! Woo! The hardest part was my mother, at the book store it dawned on me that i should get a favorite of hers. My sister tore up the copy we had since I was REAL young.

-phew- no more worrying about what to get people!

u/lhugnar · 2 pointsr/AskReddit

Love You Forever by Robert Munsch. For me it brings up a heavy mix of nostalgia and tears something in my eyes.

u/dangerdan27 · 2 pointsr/AskReddit

Love You Forever. The fucked up thing is that it's supposed to be for, like, preschoolers.

u/DocBrown1984 · 2 pointsr/books

Berenstain Bears on the Moon. This was the first book I can remember reading by myself at age 3.

Also, my parents used to read a book called The Clown Arounds to me when I was a baby. Read it to me so much the cover fell off from use.

The last major influence on my young life was Canadian author Robert Munsch. Most Americans I find are familiar with his heartwarming story Love You Forever which was a big hit with baby showers when I worked in a book store. Little did anyone know that he writes a ton of other books that are hilarious to kids. Such as Mortimer which is about a kid who doesn't want to go to bed. Or I Have to Go! about a little boy and his finicky bladder. The big one though was The Paper Bag Princess about a princess who has to go rescue her handsome prince after the dragon burned down her castle, but all she has to wear is a dirty paper bag. My mom even took me to see this guy live when I was like 5 years old, performing his own stories. I used to love the stories, and when I have kids, I'm going to stock their library with all of them.

A bigass handbag. General rule of thumb: stay away from chicks with a bigass handbag full of shit.
I was shagging a chick back in the eaily '90s. She had a bigass handbag full of shit. One day she pulled out a Canadian children's book Love You Forever and told me how it made her tear up. That fucking did it for me: never again a chick with a bigass handbag full of shit.

u/BiblemanLives · 1 pointr/Fitness

That is essentially the plot of this book.

u/DarkRainGuy · 1 pointr/fffffffuuuuuuuuuuuu

Reminds me of this book. Thank you for bringing up a happy childhood memory.

u/imaplatypuswithwings · 1 pointr/Random_Acts_Of_Amazon

Congratulations!! I'm guessing she was born at 1:37 pm.

Roll Tide baby.

A book my grandma read to me as a kid was Love You Forever. I always loved it. :)

u/ixipaulixi · 1 pointr/pics

Sounds like the storyline for Love You Forever.

All I have to do is mention that book and it makes my mom cry...now that I'm older and a parent it gets me too.

u/nabil1030 · 1 pointr/Parenting

My Lord. I just read the two pages available in the Amazon preview. I'm already in pieces.

u/MorboKat · 1 pointr/AskReddit

"because you're my biggest fan, my biggest defender and my biggest critic."

"because if you could manage to sneak past Dad at night, you'd do the I Love You Forever thing."

"because, squicked though it makes you, you honestly want me to tell you about the wierd clubs I go to and my corset collection, just so you can know what's going on in my life."

"because you call me in the middle of the night to tell me you wrote something on my Facebook Wall, no matter how many times I say you don't have to."

u/notimeforidiots · 1 pointr/Random_Acts_Of_Amazon

Not entering but this book will forever make me cry... Seriously.

u/RedPill-BlackLotus · 1 pointr/asktrp

I cry all the dam time. I have a children's book, the giving tree, If I can make it to the end without shedding a tear I know my estrogen is running low. If I'm in tears by page 10 its running high.

"The book that makes daddy cry"

I can't even read this one.

u/Yakscamelsandmules · 0 pointsr/books

That would be because I said the wrong author. D'oh.

Here it is: www.amazon.com/books/dp/0920668372
