Book Review

It's funny how books affect you differently depending on your circumstances. I read and bought a copy of Love You Forever by Robert Munsch when I was in college doing my education classes because it was a book that talked about a mother's love for her child. It was never a favorite book of mine and in some ways I thought it was stupid. But just recently Matt and I were explaining to Gabriel how he will always be our baby no matter how big he gets. As we discussed this with him I remembered this book and took it off the book shelf to read to him. As I read the book I realized that it was going to affect me more than it ever had in college. I looked over at Matt and said I was going to cry, I read a few more pages and then had to hand to book off to Matt to finish so I could leave the room. When I returned Matt even had tears in his eyes. It affected us both in a way neither of us expected. It's a great book but one that I will have to be sure my emotions can handle before I read it.
