It Seems Like Only Yesterday…
When I received the call, "how would you like a baby boy?";
It Seems Like Only Yesterday…
When the caller asked excitedly, “do you want another boy?”;
It Seems Like Only Yesterday…
When I held my boys, rocking them to sleep at night;
It Seems Like Only Yesterday…
When I watched my son take the field at his high school football games;
It Seems Like Only Yesterday…
When I stood cheering on the sideline at soccer games;
It Seems Like Only Yesterday…
When there were Star Wars and E.T. packages under the Christmas tree;
It Seems Like Only Yesterday…
When there were light sabers and miniature cars and crayons on the floor;
It Seems Like Only Yesterday…
When I dried the tears caused by a scraped knee or overturned bicycle;
It Seems Like Only Yesterday…
When I could hold both sons, one in each arm;
It Seems Like Only Yesterday…
When there were crying babies and bottles in the middle of the night;
It Seems Like Only Yesterday…
When there were goodnight hugs and kisses;
Time goes fast and as I reminisce it seems to have raced by. Where did it go? Did I ever think I’d miss all the little things? As I look back I can remember a time when I told myself “I don’t want these boys to grow up.” But time was something I couldn’t stop. There are times now that exist only in my memory; times that if I could relive I’d cherish much more.
It’s tough being a parent, but there are so many more good times to remember than there are struggles. We just need to take the time to take hold of them. We should cherish the todays and look forward to the tomorrows. For before we know it, one day we’ll open our eyes and all our todays and tomorrows will only be our fond memories of yesterday.
