I'll Love you Forever

Okay, so in our family, this book is one of our favorite childrens books. But to tell everyone out there the truth... it is quite a depressing book. I'm mean really, everyone is bound to get saddened by a book that talks about a little boy growing up and throughout all his faces of life his mother picks him up and while she rocks him she says, "I'll love you forever, I'll like you for always, as long as I'm living, my baby you'll be". Then finally the mother gets to old to say it to her son, so the son picks of his mother, and rocks her and says the same... isn't that sad? Maybe it is just us, but really I think it is a bit of a depressing book, what about you?
