Maybe it's the experience and knowing that nothing stays the same and our babies wont stay young forever.
My baby is 21 now, not exactly a toddler anymore, and I am so overjoyed everytime I see him and have been over the moon that hes come to visit, stayed overnight, and went on a few trips with us.
My 16 year old lives with his mom and I havent seen him in a while. Hes doing okay which is my 1st concern but i really hope i will see him again soon.
The others are all still at home, the oldest being 11. I know I have a few years with them but that goes so fast.
When we're a kid, our parents tell us that time doesn't stand still but we dont believe it. Now that we're adults, we know what they mean.
Speaking of parents and Fathers Day, I really miss mine but i know hes doing better than he let on during his final years here on Earth. I learned so much from him, even emwhen i didnt take his advice. And i know sime of the personal traits and characteristics I have taken on, i learned from him.
So I'll be forever grateful for my own father and I hope that my kids will look up to me in the future and know I did my best. I'm learning from them everyday and I'm so glad I could spend quality time with the kiddos on this Father's Day 2021.
