If you never read this book as a child, or had a parent read it to you-DO IT NOW. It is one of the sweetest books I can remember, really the only one I can remember clearly reading as a child. My mom and I would curl up into bed for a bedtime story and most every time I would want to read this book. A few weeks before my Birthday I was talking to my mom and asking if she remembered what happened to it and we figured out it got ruined with some of my other childhood memories in my closet that the ceiling fell in due to water damage. Well it was one of those moments I like to call a "God thing" when she said she was walking through the store and it almost literally jumped off the shelf at her-and she knew she was meant to get it. I opened it the night of my Birthday and cried for the first time ever because of a gift. I'll keep this book forever and even when my mommy is gone I'll be able to remember
"I'll love you forever
I'll like you for always
As long as I'm living
My baby you'll be"
I also got a new Bible from my mom for my birthday. My old Bible is obviously the one on the left. I have loved that thing, but it's time for a new one. I'll never get rid of that Bible because it has various highlights and notes written in the margins that are dear to my heart and remind me exactly of my life at those times.
Not even my sewing machine compares to these two Birthday gifts, and if you've heard me talk about my new sewing machine...that's saying a lot.
with love,
Ab
