I’ve waited too long
Spending life running the wheel
Like a fearful mouse
Missing the joy of their youth
My children are now adults

Thanks. That’s the plan. :)

An unfortunate side effect to providing a secure home…I’m sure there were moments. And they remember them.

I hope so. This kind of thing seems to hit me most when I am traveling for work like I am now. I just hope that I am making more of it than they are. Thank you my friend.

Do not feel alone, many times I felt that same way! Love the words Dom, make the best of it now, both sides will enjoy it even more!

I hope so. I don’t know that my children think anything of it, but I still worry that they might. Thank you for your support.

Yes it does, this has been bothering me lately, but there isn’t really anything I can do to get time back.

Time does go by so fast. I am feeling it more and more everyday. With Jordy gone and Peyt behind the wheel – oh my.

I suppose that you can relate to this very much with the changes going on in your life, it isn’t easy but it is inevitable. :)
