I'll Love You Forever

I visited my Mother yesterday. She is an invalid in a care facility. She has lost her ability to speak, to walk, and the use of one arm. She stares at me in hopes that I can read her mind about what she is thinking. I believe that she is ready to meet her maker. I remember when I was little she would read me bedtime stories from a Humpty Dumpty magazine subscription. What could I give her for Christmas? I can still read to her and so I ordered Robert Munsch's storybook, "I'll Love You Forever; I'll Like You for Always; As Long as You're Living My Baby You'll Be." As the mother in the story grows old, her child sings to her only changing it, "As Long as You're Living My Mother You'll Be."
