Time flies by so fast!

Doesn't time go by too fast? I feel like it was yesterday I was a young mom with my first daughter. Now all my daughters are moved out and have significant others and children of their own. My mom is in her golden years and recently she has been figuring out what she's leaving everyone when she passes. I'm going to be the big 5 0 this March. It's like STOP!! Why can't we freeze time for awhile and live in that moment for longer. It hit me yesterday evening like a huge ton of bricks and I cried and wished that mum wasn't getting so close to leaving this earth. I'm the baby of the family and I guess way more attached to her. In recent years we've become good friends and I no longer see her as just my parent I see as a woman. As i get older i appreciate the woman and her life journey so much more than I used to. She's a wonderful person and a great mother. She's been my inspiration for so long. I really didn't acknowledge that till recently. That's the cruel part of life I think you don't know what you've got till it's gone. That brings me back to time flying. I wished that I had seen my mother as I do now, much earlier in my life so I could have enjoyed her company for longer. Let my experience be a lesson to you. Really look at your parents see them as people not as your parents understand their life journey and what's made them who they are today. Really contemplate that for awhile. It can be tough to forgive something's but trust me get past it as quickly as you can because life is short and your parents won't be around for long. Don't live with regret that you never solved past conflicts with them. I make sure my mum knows ever time I'm with her how much I love and appreciate her. 

Okay my Lovelies go hug your parents for me.
