A raw reflection on the fear of time slipping away as children grow. From Paw Patrol to outer space, explore the bittersweet realization that we can’t slow time down—we can only choose to slow ourselves down to meet it.
It goes way too fast my friend. I don't know how we went from expecting, to those sleepless first 8 weeks, to first steps, first haircut, preschool, now kindergarten, participating in plays, soccer, gymnastics, first field trip, girl scouts... I just wish we could slow it all down. Rewind a little. Catch parts I missed. I do my best to be present, but it's never enough. Work and adulthood always take a little away. Before we know it, we will be giving them the car keys and watching their tail lights fade as they drive off on their own, leaving us behind. Don't blink my friend, don't blink.
