My son starts first grade today. “Time goes by too fast” is simultaneously the most trite and the most true thing

And just like that you’ll be walking them to graduation thinking “my mind feels just the same as that first day of school, but damn this old aching body” 😆

I did not know what the term ‘blink of an eye “ meant until I had my son, yesterday he was a sweet little 4yr old boy hugging my leg while I made him a snack and today he is a 20 year old musician who has a heart of gold and brings me so much joy . I have no idea where those “blinks” went ….🥹

Don’t worry. Once he embraces the Mets time will slow down, become a flat circle, and be excruciating for him like the rest of us.

Sadly, and you won't want to hear this, but you are losing the cherub who thinks you are a god. This is a year of great change for both of you.

I'm 57 and the quote, "The days are long, but the years are short." is really hitting home lately.
