Love You Forever

Every night my husband reads a bedtime story to my girls. My girls absolutely love story time. We have so many books scattered around our home. I think it's what Jared and I love to buy our girls the most.

Last night we were at Barnes and Noble, doing our usual thing..letting the girls play in the children's section while we enjoy a book of our own. My husband wondered off and I was looking at a couple of quilting books. A few minutes later I spot my husband sitting down reading a children's book. He seemed really into it. I shrugged it off. He comes up to me and tells me to read a book. I was like come on I'm busy reading something, stop disturbing me. I'm not going to put down my book to read some children's book, but I agree since he wouldn't stop insisting. So I start reading it and I have to say it is the sweetest, most touching children's book I've ever read. Jared starts to tell me that he got teary eyed reading it because it was a book his mom use to read to him. My husband doesn't tear up very often so I know that this book was so sentimental to him. We couldn't resist getting it for our kids. "I'll love you forever, I'll like you for always, as long as I'm living my baby you'll be."

I know it's kind of silly to be so emotional about a book. But I can't help imagining my husband as a little boy being read the same book. So now we start up this little tradition with our children and hope they hold it in such sentiment as my husband does.
