"If you have children who are grown and gone, in all likelihood you have occasionally felt pangs of loss and the recognition that you didn’t appreciate that time of life as much as you should have. Of course, there is no going back, but only forward. Rather than dwelling on the past, we should make the most of today, of the here and now, doing all we can to provide pleasant memories for the future. If you are still in the process of raising children, be aware that the tiny fingerprints that show up on almost every newly cleaned surface, the toys scattered about the house, the piles and piles of laundry to be tackled will disappear all too soon and that you will—to your surprise—miss them profoundly."

Oh, Wendy, he is a doll! And his birthday is our anniversary! So good to see your little fam and catch up on you...I still can't believe you're a wife AND a mommy AND a nurse! Sometimes it feels like I keep growing up but I expect the rest of the world to freeze in time, because I'm always shocked when I realize that everyone else is growing up, too!!
Crazy. I am very impressed and so happy that you are doing so well!
And I love that quote!
Say hi to your fam from us!
Love Val
