I'm perfectly fine with the message that mothers (respectively parents in general) will always love their children and will (in most cases - sadly enough, there are always exceptions) do everything for them to be comfortable.
"Love You Forever" is, as the title indicates, about a mother who loves her sweet little baby boy forever, until her baby has grown into an adult and she into an old woman. Watch the video below to relive the children’s book that has a big part in your childhood.Obviously enough, I'm in the minority here, but this children's book is weird, creepy, disturbing and will probably give me more nightmares than any Stephen King novel ever did. Losing the baby you have carried for months inside the womb and loved right before you could cradle, hug, and kiss them, is beyond devastating.įortunately for Robert, he was able to turn the painful experience into a remarkable story that appeals to parents and children of every generation. Annually, 24,000 babies are stillborn in the United States alone. This unfortunate news broke the writer who had experienced working in orphanages, graduated with a master’s degree in Child Studies, and written countless children’s books.Īccording to health statistics, about 1% of all pregnancies each year end up in stillbirth. “ was my way of crying,” Robert shared in one of his interviews.Īs if life is testing them even more, doctors had informed him and his wife that they would never be able to conceive a child anymore. Thus, for a very long time, his wife, Ann Beeler, did not know about the song. Robert admitted that he would silently sing this song to himself after his beloved wife gave birth to a stillborn baby twice and between a short period of time.Īccording to the creative writer, when they lost their baby, the song was too painful to be sung out loud.
The sweet and very meaningful verse appealed, not only to the children but to the parents as well, that it has become a popular lullaby and nursery staple.īut did you know that this four-line poem is more than just a nursery song? Robert Munsch, the author of best-selling children’s books, revealed that this verse has a very special place in his heart.Īs it turned out, this verse reflects a part of his life. This verse is one of the backbones of the well-known children’s book.
