Ok, so yesterday my wife and daughter get to church and I see what my daughter is wearing and I about pass out…
First, let me say that I leave the house early on Sunday mornings (usually before everybody has showered and gotten dressed) so I never know what anyone is wearing to church until they get here and I see them. Ok, now that being said, my 10 year old daughter was wearing a dress that Linda (my wife) wore to a yacht party we went to when we were serving in Brazil. I’m not going to go into detail about the dress, but I remember seeing Linda in the dress that night of the party and thinking to myself….”Wow John, how did you land such a babe?”
No problem…it’s perfectly normal to look at my wife in a pretty dress and think that I got the better end of the deal.
Well, to see my 5th grade daughter in that dress yesterday morning…I thought I was going to pass out….SHE LOOKED WONDERFUL (stay away boys) My little girl is growing up…she can’t be…I won’t let her (stay away boys)!!!!
I had the same feeling yesterday morning as the day that Karli came home after getting her long, beautiful hair cut off……I CAN’T BELIEVE IT…….Lord, please don’t let my little girl grow up…..
Parents…….WAKE UP……our kids are growing up…they will be out of the house before you know it….cherish the time you have with them….
By the way, I won’t begin to tell you the feeling I have that our youngest son is going to high school next year and our oldest is graduating from high school in less than 3 weeks…..
Somebody catch me….I think I am gonna pass out…..
Have a good week!!!!
John
i totally agree….mine are only 6 and 4 but i remember when phoebe started 5k this year…i thought wow, she is such a big girl…now, i know we have a lot of growing to do to get to john’s stage of life with our children, but i think oh my gosh – time is flying by tooooo fast. is it bad that since i was laid-off that i want to be unemployed during the summer just so i can spend time with them while school is out? i mean, i don’t get this time with them normally and really want some extra time. i think sometimes buck thinks i nag him to much about working so much. i know we have bills to pay, but i also know we always will, but we will not always have these times with them.
no comment….sniff, snifff…………..
