Goodnight Moon

I read Goodnight Moon SO often to Max, I memorized it.  He loved this book.  Good thing - because we had three copies.  Two cardboard versions (one at our house and one at Grandma Susanna's) and a big regular book version.  What is it exactly about this book?  He would see the cover and smile and then really quiet down and get a little subdued and sleepy.  I read it in almost a whisper.  At the end I always added, "And, Goodnight Maxie".  I have been thinking about Goodnight Moon a lot because Moriah the Medium told me that Maxie misses my reading it to him.  I miss reading it to him also....and just plain reciting it.  When we were on our plane ride home from the East Coast in June, Max was so over tired.  I just leaned over and put my mouth right next to his little ear and whispered the words to his favorite book: "In the great green room, there was a telephone and a red balloon, and a picture of the cow jumping over the moon...".  He looked at me with the funniest smile, like, "Mom!  The book isn't even here!".  But, he calmed right down.  He relaxed as soon as he started to hear the words.  We put a copy in his little coffin with him and I have brought it and read it to him several times while visiting him at the cemetery.  Does he hear me?  Does he know how much I want to lean over his shoulder and whisper the words in his tiny perfect ear?  Does he miss me?  Does he miss my reading to him?  I miss him so much I can barely stand it.  I miss my little Maxie - moon.
