Funny, I just pinged a friend a couple of days ago whos 12 year old grandson was visiting with him for a week. He said they were binge watching Alf. I mentioned a number of memorable quality things they could easily do together and that his window of opportunity to make great lifelong memories with his grandson closes much faster than he may realize, like age 15-16 when the kid gets his first car and starts chasing girls. He was very receptive.

The saying i find to be incredibly and terrifyingly true….

The minutes drag on forever, but the years fly by.

I really struggle to slow down. Work, house stuff, personal goals. Theres never enough time, and there are rarely free minutes. As a result, I have the best intentions….but don’t always follow through. I’ve meant to start up ju jitsu again, and bring the boy to learn. Months later, and we still haven’t signed up…..and how the hell did he already the the age he’s at? The years really do fly by.

Amen.

When my first born came into this world, I made a decision to love her every day and spend as much time with her as I could, kind of treating each day as though it might be my last. I am in the third picture right now (I aged better than the dad pictured) and it still happened too fast. I am looking forward to grand kids.
