As Long As I’m Living My Baby You’ll Be

Happy birthday to my smart, silly, handsome slatki Jacob, I can’t believe that he’s 11 today!
“I’ll love you forever,
I’ll like you for always,
as long as I’m living
my baby you’ll be.”

I remember reading him Love You Forever by Robert Munsch when he was a baby and couldn’t get through it without breaking out in tears.  Even watching this gets me all verklempt.

If you’ve never read it, you should and not just to your kids but to your parents and grandparents too.
What a sad and great back story…
The author made it up after he and his wife had two babies born dead.
For a long time he had it in his head and couldn’t sing it because every time he tried, he cried…I get it!
Read more here and buy it for someone special to your heart.
Lots of people make up their own versions, what’s yours?
Happy birthday slatki, you’re my pride and joy!!!
