And how quickly all those years go by. Cherish every broken dish, window and special moment, for they will live in your heart forever. My daughter's favorite memory is sitting in front of a roaring fire in the fireplace, wrapped in blankets and eating ice cream and laughing because it was so silly! She's in her 40's now and still remembers! Love this one Adrienne, it is so very true. And how quickly all those years go by.

Truly my husband participated in the process that began the "we" making this a true statement. However, like you unfortunately he had none of the body changing experiences that went with the role of motherhood. Some wisdom that I share with young mothers is to remember that it is an OTJ (on the job) course. We learn as we go, and if we are mindful and will listen there are some women of wisdom that can guide us. Each of us has wanted to do it the modern way (whatever, that is at the time), however, most of us will agree some of the old things still work. I'm blessed to be called Mom for over 30 years now and it is still a job. When they leave home, they remain in your hearts -- I often remember my MaDear stating, "they are off your laps and on your heart". Many years has allowed me to understand this statement now. Enjoy every stage, they all pass eventually. I agree with the memories. Truly my husband participated in the process that began the “we” making this a true statement.
