Mother's Day Short Film- I'll Love You Forever 

Hi... I'm Sheila McGraw, the illustrator of Love You Forever. I was just surfing and came across your film, and it made me weep, just as the book still does -- timeless. You have captured the book's premise perfectly. Love it!

I’ve watched this 5 times n I’m still balling my eyes out n sent this to my son . I wished to God that I had another him but I’m grateful to have him now n today is his birthday to .. happy birthday pa , mami will forever love you

I gave my children this little book when they were little. My son gave this to me for Mother’s Day. Oh my the tears❤️❤️💧💧💧💧💧💧❤️❤️

This is cry worthy. Before my mom went into a coma her last words to me were “ I’ll love you always and forever.”❤️. So beautiful!

For 2 weeks, I continuously read this book to my Mom while she was dying. This book touches your heart.

This made me cry , it made me think of my mom and how much I love her and how much she's done for me in all my 40 years.

I cried like a few minutes after I started watching it and haven't stopped. It's something certainly to remember.

I bawled my eyes out watching this.The love of a Mother is the powerful force ever. ..It transcends generations.

I lost my mom a month ago after 93 years of life with her. This made me cry....

Lost my mom a few years ago, and this movie really described her. I miss my mom and she always conveyed her love forever.

This film is well made. I lost my Mom in 2018, still miss her till this day....Happy Mother's Day Mom.

This truly pulled at my heartstrings! Tears flowing alongside the memories I hold dear to my heart of my wonderful Mother. ❤

I’ll Love You Forever holds a very special place in my ❤. It’s the story I read to my children , and it was very special to my oldest son Zack. Each of them had their own copy. Zack died when he was 19, and we buried his book with him. I’ll love you forever is written on his tombstone. This short movie made me cry of course, but they were good tears. I think Zack wanted me to find it on RU-vid. Happy Mother’s Day to all moms , and especially those moms who are missing their child today and always💕

Like so many others, this sweet touching story has me with tears streaming along my cheeks. Oh wow ... He continued with his own I'll love you forever. So true even with all the bumps along the road & I'll continue to love mine from beyond.

I can´t understand how can 19 people put thumb down with such a masterpiece; what´s wrong with the world? It made cry for real. Beautiful!

A generation apart, but never inseparable, to ALL the Mother's out there. Happy Mother's Day. Loved this short film.

I had forgotten all about this video. It just came up on my RU-vid screen. I do believe that my son Zack wanted me to find it today❤️

Mary, Mark, James.... I will love you forever..

My mother passed away nearly 4 years ago. She would read me the book this short film is based on, and would cry sometimes when she did so. As a kid, I did not fully understand why she would. But as an adult now, with 3 kids and a 4th on the way, I understand. The love I have for my kids is the same love my mother had for me. I love you mom, and miss you so much. You are the reason I am the person I am today. And hope I make you proud still.

SWEET!! To all the Moms out there - HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY - Loving them forever is a default that is installed once we give birth, & all we know how to do - (even through those darn teen years - Hang in there, it gets better ... Sometimes even more entertaining, sometimes more relaxing, but they are in a different world from us, so let them be themselves and find out what works best. Before (tooooo) long, they'll know what we know today "Mom did know before we did, but we had to find out like she did" - !?) Namaste from USA.

Tears.....this is absolutely beautiful.

The most beautiful thing god made was mother’s , happy Mother’s Day to the real hero’s whom show love and support in our darkest hours and our cheerleaders in our best times . Love is beautiful and your never to old to cuddle up in your mother’s arms and feel the warmth of her love ... god bless all the mother’s and happy Mother’s Day to all the mother’s out there !!

My best friend and I had baby boys one year apart almost 40 years ago. We would read this book to our sons and just weep. I have gifted this book to every acquaintance who has welcomed a baby boy.

I bought each of my 3 son's this book (well my eldest was given one by my friend when he was around 3. He just turned 35 2 days ago. I kept it in one of my drawers all these years. And had 2 more son's. It's so weird i came across them last week and pulled them out. I want to write something in each of them. This film reminds me of my youngest he's 26 now married and 3 little one's ofhis own. Made me cry!!!! 😭 unconditional love ...as long as I'm living my babies they'll be....

This book will forever make me weep, I’m showing this to my mom when I can and we’ll both be misty eyed

I haven't cried like this in a very long time

❤ Robert Munch for giving the tender tale to the world and thank you to the creators of this lovely short film. 💕💕💕🇨🇦

I longed for my mother to say this. This made me cry.

I cried the first time I saw it. It was 10 minutes ago. And I'm crying again... Beautiful message!! Thanks a lot! Happy Mother's Day to all the Mommies!!

WOW that was so powerful,it deserves a million 😢. We must cherish the ones we love and “ LOVE THEM FOREVER “

Lost my Mom suddenly in Aug 2019. Never forget the phone call. Will also never forget her smile and her laugh that would fill the room. Mom, you brought so much joy to so many, and taught me to do the same. Happy Mothers Day, and I will Love you Forever. Thank you for this.

Only a mother could appreciate this. To my children I will love you forever ❤️💙❤️❤️. Unconditional love. Tell me there's something better than love, it makes everything worth it.

I’ll love you forever I’ll like you for always as long as I’m living my baby you’ll be. Definitely inspired by that story ❤

Absolutely beautiful....omgoodness the tears!

My mother read this book to me when I was a kid. Now I have a daughter and another baby on the way... I can’t get more than halfway through the book without SOBBING. No one warned me about the feels

It is really beautiful to know that there is someone who is going to love you sacrifice for you and protect you unconditionally ❤️ Thanks mom for everything you did for me, I know I am not the perfect son but believe me whenever I try to do something I always think of you, you deserve all the best and I won't stop trying to make you proud of me.

So moving. On this Mother’s Day 2024 this video made me remember my precious mother who no longer is with us. Thank you.

“Love You Forever” is the book my OBGYN gave to new Mom’s…my son’s knew the story well…I used to sing “I’ll love you forever, I’ll like you for always, as long as I’m living, my baby you’ll be” Dedicated to Gage & Jaydon❤️

How is this video not going viral?!!Its just perfect.Just the thing for someone who lacks words for Mother's Day.

I'm not crying!! You're crying! 🥺🥺

Was looking for something sweet to share with my mom before I called her to wish her Happy Mother’s Day this morning. This popped up and I watched. Now I’m crying so hard I’m going to have to wait a few mins to call my mom. Beautiful ♥️. Very well done!

I love my mother so much. She means the world to me.

Beautiful 💗. Watching this video made me cry. I read this book to my sons years ago. I gave this book to my sons when they became Dads. “I’ll love you forever, I’ll like you for always, as long as I’m living my baby you’ll be” 💕

a LEGACY OF LOVE..❤❤❤❤❤

Normaly I never cry when watching short films but as a mamas girl this hits different🥺I'll love my mom forever❤❤❤❤

A mother's love to her offspring (s) is, forever...😊 Thank u for such a profound and meaningful short story about a mother's love...

I cannot wait to meet my baby !! I can’t wait . ❤️

I can't stop crying 😭. Beautiful. How about We celebrate mother's day, every day , not just once a year. 🧡💐

This made me cry I lost my mom at 53 years young to copd two years ago and the pain still feels like it was yesterday. Three months later that same year my fiancé passed away on mother's day. This day every year is about celebrating the life of my mother and everything she did for my family. At the same time my heart is torn because I lost my first love of 15 years. My life will never be the same again 😭😭😭

That’s one way to make me sob like a baby. 😭

That was beautiful.

Who else kept watching it over and over again Because it was fantastic?

Oh. My. Heart. I read this story to my sons nightly, for years. Thank you so, SO much for making this video. They are 28,24 & 21 now. I am so proud of the men they have become.

I can hardly make it through this wonderful video with getting choked up. Whenever I read this book to my children and grandchildren they always get concerned because I have to stop often and collect my emotions. Thank you so much, both of you, for the sharing of your talents for the world to be touched. Beautiful, simply beautiful. ❤

I Love It A Lot

This book is very meaningful to me as well. I am always holding back tears. So overwhelmingly glad you made this short film. It is priceless, and your work and interpretation was so well done. I am sharing it with others.

My teacher played this on our projectile at school.. and man me and my friends all cried hard. So hard infact that kids from other grades came to us

This has always been one of my most favorite books of all time. And when my daughter was born back in 2013, my little sister had gotten this book for me to read to her growing up. Unfortunately, we no longer have it due to me losing my storage unit. But I still remember this book word from word & will still tell it to my daughter, (who is now 10 btw). This story has always made me cry. They are always a mixture of happy tears, sad tears, & tears of joy & feeling blessed beyond the universe. But watching this short film about this book has given the book itself a whole new meaning to me now. It has reminded me to always make sure that my daughter knows just how much I lobe her & how much she means to me. We need to cherish the time we have together bc you never know just how much time that will be. I recently lost my momma back on July 25, 2023 due to kidney failure. It was very unexpected & happened so very fast. None of us knew how to accept any of it. We still haven't fully accepted that she isn't here anymore though. But the ending of this short film has got me all up in my feelings right now & appreciate life a little more again. Thank you to all those involved in the making of the short film as well as the author & illustrator of the book itself. And if you still have your mother here on earth with you, please call & remind her just how much she means to you & how much you love her. And if you have kids, please d the same asap. We aren't on this earth forever & you also don't know how much the other person just might need to hear those words coming from the one that they love the most.

This video made me cry I lost her mom and February of this year. She had Alzheimer's and slash dementia and sepsis. I know my mom's in a better place. But I will always love her forever. May everyone's mother be here or in heaven you'll never get another one. My mom was my best friend I'll never have another one like her. I love you Mama rest in peace

This is so touching. I really teared up and want to call my mom right away. This short film re-emphasizes how precious life is between parent and child, specifically a mother, and what a beautiful ripple affect a mother’s tender love can have for later generations. Thank you.

last part make me Cry.. I Love My Mum..I'll love her forever In Sha Allah.. Robbir Ham Huma Kama Robba Yaani Soghiraah,Aameen..

My mother never gave up on me and I never gave up on her. The eternal love all mothers send us helps us to discover ourselves. I was closer to my adopted cousin than I was to my relatives and we had a large extended family. My aunt and uncle, who had no other children, learned much about the Collective Soul that we are a part of through the love they shared with my cousin, Maryjo. Orphans are special teachers of humanity and should be loved as teachers.

This was 😢absolutely a beautiful film. A mother’s love is forever. I lost my mom in 2014 and I will cherish our love and friendship forever

Wow, que manera de hacernos llorar, sin palabras, con una sola frase y escenas que llegan al corazón...gracias, gracias!!

Ok I’m in the UGLY cry right now. The Power Of Love.

love this short film... made me cry and made me think of all my mom has done for me. Being a mom is forever ❤️❤️❤️

I had read the book when my son was little. Now this short film brought me tear.

There are no words to describe how this made me feel and how much I love my mother, and I turn 14 in 2 days

Wow...the love of a mom is forever

Sobbing. Thank you for this Joy and my tears and open heart wish you the most incredible Mother's day, every moment of ever new and divine day.

This made me realize how much I love my mother. She is amazing and smart. I love her

Very touching and so true...pay attention to your moments...they’ll turn into memories...my mama loved us kids just like this always there for us hugging on us cheering us on and those special “I love you’s “ and now we’ve passed it on to our kids...♥️ Thank you for a beautiful reminder...the circle of life...love ...lives on in all of us...what a beautiful legacy to leave behind♥️♥️

So touching. I recently lost my mom. This is the love my siblings and I had. I will love you forever until we meet again in Heaven.

Amazingly perfect short film version of Robert Munch’s iconic book!

This makes me cry every time I watch it. I love it!

I never realized until this short film that the story is just as much about the son as it is about the mother. Of course his mother loved him, but he was also a loving son, and then a loving father. So wholesome.

My favorite book of all time. I read it to my daughter as a child. She's 30 now & is my heart. Thank you!❤

I cried after her son says: *I'll love you forever..*

An awesome book. I read it to my children. It should be a classic. It is for me.

I like at the end when he picks up his baby. ^____^ The tradition continues. ^___^

I'm in bits..I loved my mom like this,she's been gone 16 years and I still miss her everyday.

This was so beautiful! My mama used to read the book to me when I was little. This brings back so many memories.

I wanted to cry for so long. Thank you to make me cry.

This is actually awesome! It made me teared up. With just few words (I'll love you forever), BG music, and the story line itself is impactful. Not to mention the artists where not as popular but yet the way they deliver their roles and facial expressions is really amazing! Salute to the artists and the creator of this short film! Wait, I just hugged my Mom so tight. 💞 Thank you for this, it's wonderful! May God bless you, your family and the works of your hands abundantly. 💖 P.S. More, more, more short films like this, please! 😊

Lost ,my Mama & best friend on a friday, the same day I was born 54 years later. The world for me turned dark and cold and empty. The pain will subside, once day, I know, but since its presence keeps us together I m holding on to it as I once held her ILY mama

Very touching video. Happy Mother's day to all Mother's out there.

This had me sobbing. Such a beautiful depiction of the book. I read this to my children by heart almost nightly. This touched my heart. Thank you for this! ❤

This is one of my FAVORITE children's books! Thank you, in the blink of an eye, that time is gone and you can never get it back.

Omg everytime i look at this i cant help myself i does just cry.

Omg .. I'm so choked up and deeply crying

This makes me cry everytime I watch.

Thank you, so much, for making this film. Haven't cried so joyously in a while and just sent it to my mother, as well as my daughter, and we all cried together. A mother's love is beyond words, but this video sure comes close!

Every Embrace With My Mother I Absolutely Felt Her Love Flowing Into My Heart....She Loved A Cuddle.......And So Did I.....Thanks Mum....God Bless You.

Well.....that made me cry. It's nice to be reminded of our blessings

This is a very powerful video. I shared it with my students, family, and friends; and can't tell you how many shed tears. If anyone watches this and not walk away feeling some type of emotion ...they aren't human. I LOVE MOM FOREVER

This video make me cry, this is so touching, beautiful.

Mothers love has no time bar...it goes on and on...eternally !

Beautiful reflexion on the circle of life. We must treasure every instant, every second we are alive...what a different world it would be, don't you think ?

Beautiful...the way it’s supposed to be and the way it is for most of us 💕 THANKYOU for sharing

Research purposes brought me here, but now my tears falling down. Well done mate. Cheers to all mother around the world
