Then, inevitably, the day comes when she's too old and sick to hold him, and the roles are at last reversed. When her son grows up and leaves home, she takes to driving across town with a ladder on the car roof, climbing through her grown son's window, and rocking the sleeping man in the same way. So far so ordinary-but this is one persistent lady. The mother sings to her sleeping baby: "I'll love you forever / I'll love you for always / As long as I'm living / My baby you'll be." She still sings the same song when her baby has turned into a fractious 2-year-old, a slovenly 9-year-old, and then a raucous teen. Since publication in l986, Love You Forever has sold more than 15 million copies in paperback and the regular hardcover edition (as well as hundreds of thousands of copies in Spanish and French) So begins the story that has touched the hearts of millions worldwide.

My entire knowledge of the book came from the episode of Friends where Joey didn’t have a gift for Emma’s birthday, so he did a dramatic reading of that book as his present. I feel like that’s one of those books that every kid has read, and if you didn’t read it as a kid, you have read it to your own kids.
I had never read the book Love You Forever. I am going to admit something that might surprise you.
