How old will you be when I stop checking on you before I go bed? To make sure you're stiil breathing, that your covers our on tight. To gather extra passies for you to reach in the middle of the night, to rub your cheeck and tell you goodnight. How old will you be when I stop thinking of you as my baby?

But at night time, when that two-year-old was quiet, she opened the door to his room, crawled across the floor, looked up over the side of his bed; and if he was really asleep she picked him up and rocked him back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. While she rocked him she sang:

I'll love you forever,
I'll like you for always,
As long as I'm living
my baby you'll be.

Love You Forever by Robert Munsch
