It won't be long until you are in my shoes. In the fall when school begins again, my baby will be a senior in high school. It doesn't seem possible, as it was only yesterday that took him with me to the preschool I ran. Then when he went to elementary, I followed him there. Even though they grow older and lose the toddler look in their face, their hearts remain the same and you will always be "Daddy"! That was simply beautiful Sean.

I think it's a bit of all three. I can't do it every time, but I try to make as many of the WD and CI posts as I can really truly matter. Thanks for everything! Jan, you say the nicest things to me.

I think it’s a bit of all three. I can’t do it every time, but I try to make as many of the WD and CI posts as I can really truly matter.

Thanks for everything!

This summer will bridge the gap between who he was and who he will be." I sure can pluck the truest statement in my life and put it down on paper and it will not be as you write it. What strange alchemy is this, Sean? Shall I put it down to tone? Rhythm? Alliteration? It doesn't sound like a post to me. More like music that tears at the soft skin of my consciousness. It's that or poetry. Such a shame I'm relatively old, but what the hell. I so want to write like you when I grow up. “The sudden certainty was a dull mallet thudding against the soft skin of my slowly beating heart. This summer will bridge the gap between who he was and who he will be.”

Dan Miranda: I moved to twice a week so people could soak the words when published. It's my pleasure to share, and to have you Dan. Chania Girl: My pleasure, I'm glad you thought it was special. I try my best to be "living happiness." : > ) Stephen: You can always call me Sean, Stephen. I can only imagine all the various versions of these feelings I'm going to have as time keeps on marching. I'm just glad I'm trying to understand the emotions now, rather than waiting until I'm older and swimming in regret. I liked your Living Now piece the other day. Similar theme, I could easily relate. Vered: The book I wrote, and will eventually return to, is swimming in time and the lament of time, etc. It's one of the reasons I love LOST as much as I do. We cannot escape it or change it, but if we learn to respect it, we will be able to pull infinitely more from all we are given. Randi: LOL, my humble apologies for all the smeared mascara. One of my favorite terrible television shows of all time was "Out of This World," because the lead character could freeze time whenever she wanted. Can you imagine if that power was granted to those of us parents who could truly appreciate it? Best superhero power EVER! Sandra: I know your words are true, and so I do my best to chew the juice from each moment before the pending seconds force me to swallow.
