I've been on an emotional roller-coaster here the last few weeks and I am now thinking it is because of m babies.
Here it is 2006 Holidays already. My children are ages 17, 11, 9. Have you figured it out yet? I've got my son graduating in May. He's 5'11 & 160lbs. Another 12-18 months and he will be out on his own. That's one child we've raised and now leaving home. WOW, it seems like yesterday I babysat this child and changed his diapers. Now, he is a fine young man preparing to face the real world. Then he will fall in love, marry the girl of his dreams and have a child(ren). What happened to last 18 yrs and where have they gone.
My 11 yr old son will be in Jr High next year and playing football for the school. He's 5'2 & 140lbs. What happened to that beautiful baby boy we brought home from the Hospital 11 yrs ago? He is now my 11 yr old baby boy. In another 5 years I will have him graduating high school and yet again preparing for another one of my kids leaving home finding his true love, marriage and kids. It just doesn't seem like enough time has passed for all this to be happening.
Then the baby! She is 9 and will be going to Intermediate(5-6)grades. Our little angel is only 4'4 MAYBE 4'5 & 76lbs. She is very petite. In my eyes, she is still to small to be heading to Intermediate. Then another 7 years she will be our last one and she will be graduating. The baby has grown up and she will find the man of her dreams, getting married and having her family. WOW getting married, MY baby girl. So help me God, the man that marries her if he ever hurts her..lol. To my 17 yr old he is like that's a long ways away. But its not! It's truly amazing how fast time flys when you have kids.
Some one explain to me where the time has gone. Please explain to me. It is not time for my babies to grow up and move on. I've cried so much thinking about this and looking at my babies, that I don't see how God has give me any more tears to cry.
If you read this, please don't feel sorry for me, because that is not what I want. If you have not been in my shoes before, then you have no idea what I am going through. Just please try to understand.
Love to All
