Although this may sound odd, I am in mourning of TIME. I know we all say, "Where have the years gone?" These words flow from our mouths daily and usually with little thought behind the harshness of their truth. However, our children are a visual reminder of that ticking clock. They are the calendars of our life, the judgement of how and why we spend the gift of time the way we do. Yet, why is it that even when they (our children) are the center of our universe, do we feel as if there is never enough time on our daily watch for them? I am morning the loss of a gift that I can never receive again, yesterday. The yesterday that I held my first newborn baby, the yesterday that I watched my child sing in the fourth grade play, the yesterday of my second child's first moments of life, and all the sweet yesterdays that I was too exhausted to place in that special little memory box within my heart so that I would have them with me again today.
♥ The days drag on, and the years are gone ♥
