It’s that time of year again. Where does the time go? A year comes a year goes and before you know it another child is ready to leave the nest. How can it be that our youngest son has another birthday and is already turning five. He says that this year what he wants the very most is a childrens electric guitar! Yes at the ripe old age of five he wants an electric guitar for his birthday! My husband says that it’s not really an electric guitar but a kids electric guitar and let him have fun with it. I know he’s right but it just seems like they grow up too fast these days.
This coming school year our daughter will be going off to college and I already am feeling the loss of the first child leaving the nest. Sometimes it’s like the song says “If I could take time in a bottle”, I’d slow the time down and spend more days with my kids. But it is important to learn to live in the moment and not lament the past or worry about the future. So I will enjoy every moment of my son “rocking out” on his new kids guitar!
