Great gift item November 12, 2008
I purchased this book for my daughter-in-law who is the wife of my first born son and the mother of my first born grandson. It is a wonderful book. Every mother of a son should have.
Wonderful book October 26, 2008
This is a heartfelt book. Made me cry, very good though. Every Mom should read it.
Just as good for mom as child September 20, 2008
I love to read this book to my kids when I'm worn out from the day to day struggles of being a working mom. It helps me to remember those cherished moments that sometimes get rushed through. I also like that it gives us an opportunity to remember moments with our kids from when they were babies and moments they still haven't reached yet, like driving a car. It's a great book to stop and talk about things in the middle and remember what a blessing it is to have them at this age. Great book.
Excellent Reminder of how fast they grow September 6, 2008
This book reminds us of how quickly our children grow and how soon they will soon be gone. As the mother of a 15 and a 11 year old, I was reminded of precious memories of days gone by and saddened by the glimpses of what is yet to come in my future as a mother. I was made aware of this book because it was given as a gift at a baby shower and after reading it, it is the perfect gift for new mammas. The book made such an impact that as soon as I got home from the baby shower I got online and ordered it. This comes highly recommended.
Wonderful book to give as a gift August 31, 2008
This book is a poem, which we originally found in one of Karen Kingsbury's novels. The mother in the story read the poem to her son, on the occasion of his wedding. While she recognizes all the "firsts" in his life, she also notes that there were many "lasts," such as the last bottle she fed him, the last time she tied his shoes, the last time she drove him to school...if she had known that it was the last time she rocked him to sleep, she would have "held him longer." When we learned that the poem had been published as a separate book, my wife gave it to our son for his graduation from high school. What a moving moment when they read it together. We have since started giving the book as baby shower gifts to friends, as a reminder to savor all the "lasts" in their little ones' lives.
