You hear that all the time...right? I don't usually think too much on the subject...don't dwell on it. Shit, I can't even remember how old I am without stopping to think about it. So...I don't think about it...until...one of my kids has a Birthday. Then...I think about it. I thought about it yesterday. My son tuned 9 years old yesterday...and I thought "How can that be?"...."Wasn't he a baby just a couple of weeks ago?"..."no", I answer..."he was not".
Nicholas is a very grown up little boy...getting taller by the minute and eating me out of house and home. He is smart, kind, adorable and very busy! He is my baby...my youngest...and it is hard to let myself realize how fast time is going by...and how few years I have left until he grows up and goes out into the world without his Mommy. Maybe I am in denial...maybe I just don't WANT to think about the time...passing. One day I will have to...let go...but for now I think I will just enjoy these years and my peaceful oblivion...forgetting time...passing. I can do that, right? I can...at least until next week...when my Oldest Daughter turns 17!...and in December...my Youngest Daughter turns Sweet 16! Guess you can't ignore time passing after all...just cherish and embrace it!!
