It was 1989-90. I was living in LA, and not much money to send my mother a decent Mother's Day gift, so I decided the next best thing was to write a song about her.  She had given me the illustrated children's book by Robert Munsch, LOVE YOU FOREVER, and I loved it so much I decided to write my own personalized verses and add it to Robert's 'Chorus phrase'... "I'll Love You Forever, I'll Like You For Always". 

I thought I would share the latest recorded version of it (one of these days I will actually head into a studio and record it appropriately, but thank you Dan Friedman for making this sound as good as possible, you're genius), and I hope it brings everyone the same heart-smile it brings my mother and me.

Mama I Love You Forever, by Jeffrey Umberger

I struggle every day with my worries over ailing family and hurt for friends who are ailing or mourning in some painful way. Babysteps! That's all we can do. Love you all the time!
