Im bawling! My mom used to read this too me..Im 18 now..shes still here..but ...still! :') it makes me cry with sadness and happienesss... Im such a big baby...I never cry...why am I crying! Im LEAKING!
The first time I read this story was in the 2nd Grade, and I just thought it was another story my teacher made us read. Now, it's about 3:00 in the morning in 2011, my own mom is recovering from a stroke she had the year before, and just listening to this story makes me want to walk into her bedroom and just hold her close like she always did to me.
Thank you for making this wonderful book into a video. I got this book for my Son when he was in the first grade, and he loved it. He is now 28 years old. Over the years, the old tattered book got lost or thrown away during moving.
I am glad I can see the book again without buying it..........THANK YOU!
I have read this book to my boys since the day they were born. We love this book,,, i cry everytime,, and my kids love it cause its happy tears. Thank you Robert Munsch this is the best.
This is the only book that can still make this US Marine ball like an infant child. I don't think it will ever be any different. I remember reading this book in wee-worship at church on Mother's Day. I was around 6-7 and I think that was the day that I realized that people die... and that my parents wouldn't be around forever. This book brought the mortality of the world closer to me, and taught me to cherish everything and everyone around me, because you never know when it might slip away...
It never ceases to amaze me the people who say this book "creeps them out". It's a simple story about the endless love a parent has for their child. That's it. Those who look any deeper into it - maybe you're the disturbed ones, for trying to find any different kind of meaning in it.
My mom read this to me when i was a baby and then while i sleep she would rock me and sing the song to me.I remember this story by heart seeing this makes me cry.
God. I love this book. In grade 2, some kid named Bryce made fun of me for reading the book and loving. I cried. I told the teacher on him, serves him right ):
That was a wonderful video! My grandchildren watched it with me and I was impressed with how well made it was. Thank you so much. I've loved that story for years.
My mom used to read this to me when I was little. I know that when she gets older, I'll read it back to her as she did to me. And when I have a child of my own, I will read it as I rock them to sleep. That is my hope.
Jeez, I remember reading this as a child and I loved it and when no one was around I would read it and start crying...it was sad crying though because I just couldn't accept having to live without my mum...really makes you appreciate things
What the hell is everyone crying about? People die and have children, that's a fact of life that I thought everyone just kinda accepted, a simple children's book shouldn't change that. I would've been more moved if the story involved the child being unloved by his mother, or if the son grew up to be a failure and killed himself, sending his mother into a spiraling depression, you know, something actually sad instead of something normal and not particularly thought-provoking.
Some family traditions should not be carried onward. This is one of them. What the hell is wrong with you people? Mom is a freakshow who is a pedophile. This is a God awful book.
the book sucks, this video sucks, it all sucks (Cause i'm crying again and it's been 14 years since I first read it and I own it and you'd think I'd get over it) <3
I've been a preschool teacher for 21 years. This is easily one of the best stories ever written. I read it to my son and gave it to my sidter when my nephew was born. I read it every Mother's Day to my class. This bookis timeless at showing how the love we give our children will be passed on to our grandchildren.
Whenever I was a young boy, my mother would always read me this book. She and I would read it together. I practically had the entire book memorized, just as she did. Every time the song would come up in the story, we would sing it to each other. After the book would close, we would sing it to each other. Every night, still, when I am seventeen, we sing it to each other. This is all because my mother loved me so much. My mother is my best friend. I will love her forever and always. :)
I loved this book as a kid. My grandma read it to me all the time and rocked me just like the mom did in the book. This video has me in tears and I'm 22 now.
I love your video, only wish you'd have sung the chorus, it's beautiful. The other reading on here sings the chorus, but cuts off the last part of the story about the son's new baby. Thank you for sharing this
This made me realize that no matter how busy I get as a college student or how grown up I try to be, I am still a kid and miss my family so much. I wouldn't be so far in life today if it wasn't for the support and love my mom has shown me.
My mother loves this book, as do l. Sometime ago it got lost and she talks about it all the time. She use to read it to all of us each night, one by one. ( she had only 6 kids at the time) l'm going to get it for her this Christmas. l'm sure she'll begin reading it to us again. l'm 16 and l can't wait for her to read it to me again!<'3
I read the boy I babysitt this story after he hadn't read it for a couple years, and at the end of the book I looked over at him and he's crying, and he says, does the mommy die? it was so sweet :)
Mother........A creation of Almighty like no other. May Lord, rest in peace, the souls of all the mothers who have left for their final abode,. May God inspire all the sons and daughter who have their mothers with them... to love them, serve them, care for them and obey them. Amen. Mother... an amazing creation of My Lord Almighty.
Positive- I just started my literacy time line, this is one of the book i remember my mother reading to me as a child, and watching this has brought me to tears. I have such a feeling of closeness to my mother, and this book really makes me miss her. I don't talk to her nearly enough, but her hard work ethic both as a teacher as well as mother has inspired me to be a hard working man who cares about his community. First book i remember from prob. 1990 when I was too
If Gabe let me, I'd still read this to him. He did flush my watch down the toilet. and at times I say "this kids is driving me crazy" but until the day I die, Gabriel... "I'll love you forever, I'll like you for always, as long as I'm living, my baby (Gabey) you'll be"....
Just enjoy the moment...embracing the deep love of a parent for their child. It made me cry as a new mother and now that my sons are grown I enjoyed the memory. We will always love our children...and our parents no matter what.
I'm sorry, but I think this is the creepiest children's book I've ever read. This represents a creepy and inappropriate parent/child relationship. I get what the book is trying to say and the message is good, but it could've been presented in a better way that doesn't involve a mother sneaking into her grown son's room/house and rocking him while he sleeps. No offense to the people who like this book. I respect your opinions and feelings.
i read this to my younger siblings..and i used to tell my ex-boyfriend that all the time..i plan on reading this to my kids when i have them..it's the best childhood story i can remember..
If this childrens book doesn't make you cry, then you will NEVER CRY....
Not ONCE have I read this book without crying, it doesn't matter what type of mood I'm in. It's amazing that a short childrens book could have SUCH a lasting impression on me, I just keep appreciating it even more as I grow older....
OMG a double whammy! This book never fails in making me cry and so does the forest gump theme. I've had this book close to my heart since I wad a toddler and I'm 22 now, and about to graduate college. I'm going to give my mom a copy of this book on my graduation day.
It's never the words in the book that makes it touching, it's the way the narrator read it. If you watch other versions of the book, it doesn't sound so emotional.

I'm 19, and my Mom used to read this too us when my brothers and I were little. Looking at this now, this makes me think not only of my Mom, but God's big love for me, too.
My eyes are burning from the tears this video made me shed. Thank you for posting it.
i got teary eyes and my mom used to read this to me too. are we supposed to believe the mom died of old age in the end? when he was rocking her maybe she died in his arms? because that's what I thought the story meant, she was too old to finish so he said that to her as she lay dying and then went home and carried on her tradition
Ever since I was little this book would make me cry and at 26, I still can't help but cry. In memory of my mother. 21 yrs without her hurts. I miss her so much. ---I'll love you forever. I'll like you for always. As long as I'm living, my Mommy you'll be.---
hey wait, i just realized something, how would the boy know the words to the song if the mom onnly read it to him when he was asleep? i mean when he sang it to his mom and his kid so how did he know it if the boy was asleep?
Okay i stopped at 2:58 i no where its going when me my mom and dad lived in my gramas house my grama would read this to me alot... I was little i didnt know what it meant. but now i do and i am already tearing up at 2:58.
My mom read this so many times to me when I was little, I had it memorized! She read this to me and then would sing "I Only Have Eyes For You" to make me go to sleep. I just graduated high school last month. I can only imagine how she feels.
I loved this book as a young kid, when I was graduating from high school my family gave this book to me as a gift, it was such a special gift that I will pass onto my children.
My mom would read this to me, and she would sing the song each time, she has a really beautiful voice... Now I have a son, he is almost three months old... and I have been wanting to go out and buy it to read to my son. It's such a beautiful story :) Thank you to the poster for putting this video up!
I'm a CCA @ a daycare. We went to the library today and I have no idea what book to get so I just grabbed the nearest one. So, it's this book...I read it in front of a bunch of preschoolers adn I couldn't finish it because I started crying.
I remember my mother reading this to me every night before bed. Its an amazing book, and i still cry when i look at the tattered copy that is in the chest in my parents house. Heartwarming memories, my kids will have this book in the future, when i have them.
i remember when my teacher read this to the class when i was in 2nd grade. i cried then and im a senior and it still makes me cry lol. one of the best books ever!
When i was in the 5th grade one of my friends moms came in and read the book for show and tell im in the 11th now and i still like to look at the book every once and a while it makes me tear up just a bit
my grandma read this book to me since i was a baby and she always put the song verse on all my birthday cards and such and one year, she died and i was very sad and i was cleaning my room out a couple days later and on my bookshelf, i found the book and read the whole thing, and at the end she wrote the verse, i started crying
I loved this book as a kid. Society's screwed me up enough that now I just find it a bit creepy.

I'm 19, and my Mom used to read this too us when my brothers and I were little. Looking at this now, this makes me think not only of my Mom, but God's big love for me, too.
My eyes are burning from the tears this video made me shed. Thank you for posting it.

i got teary eyes and my mom used to read this to me too. are we supposed to believe the mom died of old age in the end? when he was rocking her maybe she died in his arms? because that's what I thought the story meant, she was too old to finish so he said that to her as she lay dying and then went home and carried on her tradition

Its pretty powerful when you can write a childrens book that can make anyone cry.

Ever since I was little this book would make me cry and at 26, I still can't help but cry. In memory of my mother. 21 yrs without her hurts. I miss her so much. ---I'll love you forever. I'll like you for always. As long as I'm living, my Mommy you'll be.---

My parents never paid much attention to me, but my older sister practically raised me.
I never understood why when she read it to me every night, why she'd always cry.
Now when I read it to my little neice and nephew, I deffinitely understand.

hey wait, i just realized something, how would the boy know the words to the song if the mom onnly read it to him when he was asleep? i mean when he sang it to his mom and his kid so how did he know it if the boy was asleep?

Because he wasn't REALLY asleep. Hence the emphasis on "IF".

My mom read this so many times to me when I was little, I had it memorized! She read this to me and then would sing "I Only Have Eyes For You" to make me go to sleep. I just graduated high school last month. I can only imagine how she feels.
