STOP AND SMELL THE ROSES
It's amazing to me how quickly the time goes by as you get older. I remember being a child and thinking how long the days, weeks, months would feel. Especially if you were looking forward to something. Now that I am older and have my own children, the days, weeks, months and years go by far too quickly. It seems just like yesterday I had my son. I blinked (4 years later) and along came our daughter. It's funny how we often take for granted the time we have with our families? I I wish I would have known then, what I know now. Take my grandparents for example. My husband and I were married in 2001 and by 2004, both my maternal grandparents had passed away. I remember the last time I saw my grandfather. My grandmother had passed away a few months earlier and we were having dinner at my grandparents house. We spent the evening reminiscing about my grandmother and making sure our grandpa was okay. You see, my grandparent...
