Book Shelf

The Bookshelf

I have been meaning to take a picture of the Book Shelf in Cameron's bedroom. My friends & family at my Baby Shower were asked to bring a book for Cameron's library in place of a wishing well. It was a great idea! My brother, sisters & parents purchased the bookshelf as part of my shower gift & the people at the shower filled it with books. It was such a nice gift. Cameron received such sweet books. Bill's Mom & Dad gave Cameron books that were Bill's when he was a kid, my Mom & Dad bought a book with Maya on the front, people made books, etc!!! I was overwhelmed. The best part was the guests were asked to write a special note to Cameron/Bill/myself if they wanted to. People wrote such special things. It took me days before I could read them all...not just because of how many, but because I cried at many of them!

I received one book entitled "Love You Forever." The book is about a mother/son relationship & the stages it goes through (Terrible two's, nine year old boy, teenager & a grown up son). She sings the same song to him every night before bed:

I'll Love you Forever
I'll Like you for Always
As long as I'm living
My Baby You'll Be

I have been reading this book to Cameron almost every night before bed. It took me several weeks before I could make it through without crying. Of course, I still cry when I read it every so often.
