Finally finished this labor of love. ๐ My son and his wife are expecting their first child together in May – and itโs a girl! I used to read this book to him when he was small. It was our favorite and it always made me cry! I made up a little melody to sing the song to him, and Iโd get so choked up I could hardly get through it. ๐ญ I gave him a copy when he turned 18, and Iโm giving a copy to his daughter. Needless to say, itโs very special to us. ๐ And so this blanket is called the Love You Forever Baby Blanket. Iโll be posting the pattern and more photos soon!๐๐ป๐

March 7, 2019 12:12 pmOh my..lol..I also read this book to my babies (I had twins..boy and girl) . They will be turning 30 in June and on my sons wedding day, while he was giving his speech and talking about his dad and I, he directed that “tear jerking” quote to me…Of course that started the tears flowing.haha.. I remember always getting choked up reading it to them as well and in later years, when my own mom got Alzheimerโs, I always remembered that book and felt the same as the son in the picture cradling his mother. Itโs a wonderful book. Thanks for reminding me. โค๏ธ Btw..your afghan is beautiful!
