Time continues to pass ever so quickly. I cannot believe for a moment that my son has grown up so fast. The first moment I glimpsed at him was in an ultrasound. It looked like he was praying and I knew it was probably for a more qualified mother than myself. The fears abounded. What was I going to teach this frail, tiny, little bity bundle of joy. It seems that yesturday a doctor handed a vulnerable 6lb 10 oz baby boy to me without an educational degree in parenthood. As a parent I could not for a moment fathom that not only was I not liscensed as a parent, but I had never graduated from parent 101! So many thoughts instantly reverberated through my head. How am I going to teach this child to succeed with all the tasks that will be required to navigate this world successfully. In time I did and continue to teach my children life, educational, and social skills. Ultimately, my children have taught me so much more. They have taught me how to see life through a new set of eyes, how to play without regret, and how to laugh at their chronic epiphanies. My children have taught me true contentment, true anxiety, and true passion for life in numerous areas. My son is straining to hold on to the circles with the same dedication that I continue to hold on to the present moment. Time goes by so fast. If you blink you will miss yet another moment in time. Keep your eyes open to the fact that we should all embrace now and make the most of it.
