I made it to page two and then had to take a break because my voice was choking up and my eyes were full of tears.
But I persevered. I made it a few pages more and was doing better. But then the last three pages happened. And I am not even kidding when I tell you that I had tears streaming down my face, while I tried not to SOB with Katie in my lap listening to me "read".
Tyson was just watching me and trying not to laugh.
I finished the book, we said a goodnight prayer, got hugs and kisses, said "Goodnight. I love you. See you in the morning." and I closed the door. As Tyson and I are walking down the hall (and I still have tears that are leaking out and down my face - because I'm awesome like that) he tells me that he remembers his mom reading that book to him and crying as she read it too.
Katie,
I'll love you forever.
I'll like you for always.
As long as I'm living
My baby you'll be.
