I remember my 4th grade teacher would read this book about a mother who would check on her son every night before bed. I remember at the end he was all grown up and she still watched him sleep. My teacher always cried while reading it, but I can't remember very much about it because it was so long ago. It must have been for that age level (4th grade) and I'm assuming it was illustrated. Can anyone please offer some ideas?

I think I know what book you're talking about.

Hold on.

ERRR! I know EXACTLY what book you're talking about but I can't find the title. This is going to bother me now :)

It's bothering me too LOL Maybe someone out there will know...

I know it! It's called Love You Forever, written by Robert Munsch. I'm almost positive this is the book you're talking about because it seems to be the appropriate age level. Hope this is it =)

OMG! That's it!! Thank you sooo much :)

I love that book... It's been in my family for a number of years.

No problem.

Glad I could help! =)

When I read it to my daughter it made me cry too. :)
