I really don't miss having little kids at all, but I do miss when they used to love me instead of just seeing me as an obstacle to something they want to do. I hear "I hate you so much" a lot.
It's not that it goes too fast. It's that when it's gone, when there are no more chubby cheeks of any sort that you own, it's so gone. So completely gone. And the kids don't remember. Only you do.
Thank you for posting this - I loved it and it was such a great review for me now that my youngest is 27 yrs. old. My four daughters are so precious to me - and there were some really rough and terrible days and nights (months and years) - but now I can say it was all worth it.
oh my goodness! I think I held my breath through the whole thing. tears in my eyes, praying that my surgery goes well tomorrow. Please say big prayers that I wake up and heal fast . thanks!
Thanks! That makes you think. I have been trying to be more 'there' and in the moment. Eight years for me has gone by in a flash and I am afraid the next eight will too.

Full of tears in the library :) Thanks for posting, it is a very sweet reminder to stop and smell the roses. I just held the book here at the library!
