I’m not sure when I’ll be able to read “I’ll Love You Forever” to my kids without my eyes filling with tears when the mother dies at the end. I’ve been reading it now for almost five years, and every single time when I get to that part, I end up having to choke back tears and steady my voice while reading the last two pages. It kills me.
Oh goodness, there are quite a few of those books for me. That one, The Giving Tree, one I can’t remember the name of but is about an old lady and her hats. It might be called Miss Fanny’s Hats. Dunno. Either way, I totally get how you feel.
