Growing up to growing older

I remember being "younger" and I couldn't wait to grow up, get to a higher grade, do my own thing! Now that I have done all of these things I am watching our children do the same and its making me feel OLD!

Tonight my step son graduated from elementary school, he is no longer "a little boy". It happened so quick, they grow up so fast, and we grow older faster but that's what we wanted.....wasn't it????

My parents were right....be careful what you wish for. It scares me to know one day our children will move out and no longer need us. Once upon a time I wanted to speed up time, now my only wish is to slow it down and keep our precious babies young forever...
