It seems like fall is here…
Where did the time go?
The blogs, as you all know, are slow coming. I apologize. I’d have to say, however, no one is really commenting much, so I don’t feel too much drive to post daily. No, don’t start commenting on everything and filling my evenings with moderating.
Talk about time going fast, my son and daughter just had their 7th and 5th birthday parties, respectively. It doesn’t seem that long ago that they were just little noisy bundles of joy, but it must have been. It’s cool to see them grow up, form their own opinions, become their own people, but it’s sad a little, too. You have such pure innocent people living with you and slowly but surely they turn into young adults. It becomes even more bittersweet when you look at the relationship you have with your own parents. How often do you call home? How many times do you take the time to talk to your folks? Some day, that seeming lack of interest we call everyday life will affect your children, too. You’ll end up being the guy waiting for a call, or the girl hoping to see you child for a few minutes that week. Eventually, every child leaves their parents behind to become parents themselves. Your family becomes a new one and you become “extended.”
A child is only young once. Enjoy it while it’s here.
