I know we do not know each other personally, so I don't know if it's weird for you to hear from strangers when they wax philosophical? :) <br /><br />I am so happy to know that you have days like we all do, and what speaks to me is that you think and feel the way I sometimes do. Good for you to reflect and feel remorse and to want to quickly make amends. That happens to me a lot, and just the other night, I sent my girls off to bed without having spent any quality moments with them that day. It was after eleven, and I couldn't stand it, so I went into their room and spent a few minutes with each one. My oldest girl spent 15 mins straight telling me about Pokemon. She actually told me it felt nice that I would listen to her about her favorite pastime because everyone else makes fun of her when she talks about it. My younger one just wanted hugs and kisses. The time is going by TOO fast. My Pokemon girl turns 12 tomorrow and goes in to YW next Sunday. I'm not ready. I want more time. <br /><br />You are doing a great job, and you are very wise to cherish the time. I have cherished it, and no matter how much you do, it goes to fast. But at least you won't look back and wish you'd done more. You'll know you lived with your eyes and heart wide open. That's what it's all about. :)Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10958091392834699894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3314654863949920054.post-47130466854677639812011-07-19T08:04:35.055-07:002011-07-19T08:04:35.055-07:00Such a sweet, meaningful message, Em.

But for a minute, I felt like I was listening to a neighbor.
