Last Bedtime Story: Mothers’ Regrets

By: Louise Aspden (View Profile)

“I’ll love you forever, I’ll like you for always, as long as I’m living my baby you’ll be.”

As he grows she continues to sing this to him, even after he leaves the house she sneaks into his home and whispers to him as he sleeps. (Don’t worry boys). By the end of the book, the role reverses and he is the one that sings to his elderly mother. Sniff.

Our memories are precious gifts. The key is not to let any of them turn into regrets.

Regrets will hold you back from experiencing your life now, as it unfolds.

Regrets keep us from attracting more joy.

I read your story a few weeks ago and I just wanted to let you know that you have totally changed my outlook on story time with my kids. I used to look at it as a chore - something I had to do so that I could have my "alone time". Now I cherish it! We all lay in my king size bed snuggled up as I read. It's the only time anyone ever argues over who gets to be next to me and then they hang onto my every word! Who could ask for more? Thanks for setting me straight!

I love that book, which I now read to my grandsons. It's like watching all the best parts of an old movie to read them the same books I read my sons. Thanks for the snapshots of that time!
