This story is prevailed by e-mails. Sorry, I write these sentences in Japanese because I fount them in a Japanese private web page. I will translate the sentences in English.

I'm afraid I can write sentences in the book in this page but sentences are from e-mails of large numbers of people so it will be OK.

Love You Forever

By Robert Munsch, Sheila McGraw

List Price: CDN$ 4.95

I found this book at chapters. I have read this books translated into Japanese. You should read this book in English because the original book were written in English. If you read it, you can see that to be seniors is only a part of life.

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. So far so ordinary--but this is one persistent lady. 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. Then, inevitably, the day comes when she's too old and sick to hold him, and the roles are at last reversed. Each stage is illustrated by one of Sheila McGraw's comic and yet poignant pastels.
