It took me no time to read this book and immediately it brought me to tears. Everything is in here: love, bonding, a little crazy, empty nest, frustrated parent, circle of life, etc. The part about the mom going to the house after her son had become an adult and climbing in the window creeped me out, that's stalking but, I get the spirit of the book. It is the beautiful story of a mother's love for her son through each stage of his life...and hers. When I got to the end, I was a weeping mess! I got this book on the recommendation of Whitney Davis and Tywana Wright for my grandson. I have yet to read it to him but, I'll read it again and again for sure.
