The end of an era always feels so far away when you’re at the beginning. But, when you start nearing the end, all the things will change without you even noticing. In my case, when she was 8, I didn’t have all the answers. Even now, I recognize that she’s almost 18, and I DO NOT have all the answers.
These days we find ourselves sitting across from each other, sometimes not even making full eye contact. But, these are the exact times I realize that we’ve done a lot of things right. And, we’ve done them together.
If you have ever had a son or daughter who is growing up right in front of you, this will sound familiar. These are the times when doing nothing feels like the safest way to slow the time down until you remember that time won’t stop. It will keep going. They will keep on growing. And, when you look up, they’ll be headed off to their next adventure.
If you are smart, you will put as many moments on the calendar as you possibly can. This is your sign to plan a date. Tell me, what do you have in mind? I would love to hear about it.💕
