There are twenty four hours in a day, seven days a week, 28 to 31 days in a month, and 364 days in a year. It is hard to believe knowing this that time can fly by so fast and ferious. Within a blink of an eye a second can be gone, and not brought back again. And with each second gone we learn, grow, and either fall or fail.
As I sit here listening to the inernet I think of my children and my life. I think of how fast time as pasted and how much as happened. There are times I miss, and there are times I am so glad will not return. But all in all, there is a part of my heart that pings at the past, at times gone. I sit here now a mom of a teenager. Where has the time gone?
Thirteen years ago I was laying in a hospital bed not believing I was a mom for the first time. And now I sit here thinking I am a mom of a teenager, how can this happen. But the one thing I do know that has happened, is the growth and change. The one thing I have learned through the years, don't hold onto the past.
Yes, the past is wonderful. It is great to sit and look at pictures, but it is not something to focus on. You need to look forward, especially in your children's lives. As you children grow up things will change, times will come and go. But one thing that will remain their love. I don't care how old or young children are they love their parents.
So as I sit and listen to the inernet and think of my chidren, I want to thank God for my children. No I don't have every memory, and maybe I was not there for EVERY milestone, but I know they love me and I love them. I know that even though my son is thirteen, and many years are gone, I have many years to come.
