LOVE YOU FOREVER is a story of a mother who rocks her son every night after he has gone to bed. As she rocks him she says, "I'll love you forever, I'll like you for always, As long as I'm living my baby you'll be." She continues to go into his room every night and rock him; as he grows older she rocks him less and less. Once he moves out of his mother's house and starts his own family, his mother would occasionally drive across town to rock her baby boy. One day the mother calls her son to tell him she is very sick and dying and he needed to come see her. When he arrives his mother tries to sing to him and is unable to finish her song; so he gently rocks his mother and tells her, "I'll love you forever, I'll like you for always, As long as I'm living my Mommy you'll be." Upon arriving to his home the man picks up his new baby daughter and rocks her and tells her the same thing his mother once told him.
This book has always been one of my favorites, it shows that no matter how many horrible things children do their parents will still love them. It also shows that kids hear more than you think they do. Even though the boy was always asleep when his mother was talking to him, he was able to repeat what she said to her and to his own child.
