too fast
he was just born yesterday.
today he measures up to my shoulder.
this november he will be 9.
that’s half way to 18.
how is this happening so fast?
how can i make it slow down?
how can i not squander the next 9 years?
these are my mother’s day thougts.

I can relate. I have a 23yo with a baby soon to be 1yo and I can still remember her first day of school when she waved by to me while walking to her bus. It really does go soooooo fast.

Sadly, you are right. They do grow just way to fast and there’s not a thing we can do about it. (sigh) Olivia is only three and it seems like she was just born yesterday, but my mind looks at and thinks wow! I only have 6 more of these 3 year times spans with her left. THAT makes me sad. I can’t imagine life without them here with me all the time. But I know I’ll deal when the time comes.
