Even when I'm a grown man

After a typical Saturday, I tucked Oliver into bed after reading him a book tonight.  He was really tired and asked me to stay and rub his back for a couple minutes.  

As he was falling asleep he said, "I love you, Mommy.  I love you every day."  I said,"I love you too, Oliver."

Then he rubbed my cheek and said, "I'll love you even when I'm a teenager."  He rolled over and was just about to sleep when he whispered, "Mommy, I'll love you even when I'm a grown man."

My sweet boy.  I love you every day, and I will love you even when you are a grown man.
