It Goes Too Quick

Something odd is happening with blogspots posting - it is stamped as though posted by Gabriel, but this post is actually by "Lyn".


There is a commercial on television that goes something like this:

A baby is born and he's given a red blanket with, I don't know, some kind of design on it. And then we see certain times of his life highlighted including playing with his friends, practicing the drums, going off to college, sitting with his girlfriend, then, holding their baby daughter and always that blanket is there. Then we see him pulling his daughter, appr. 6 yrs old, in a wagon with that red blanket wrapped around her. I really don't remember what company the commercial is for, I only know that a 30 sec. commercial pretty much sums up how fast your life passes.

Our oldest daughter (we have 2) had a birthday today, May 2, and she is now 29 yrs. old. Where did that time go? I hardly remember a lot of things. I do remember certain parts of her life, such as that commercial would show, but I couldn't hold on long enough to keep the memory alive. She grew up too fast! I wish sometime to call back the years and enjoy each moment even greater than the first time, but as is the plan of God, this is how it has to be.

I'm thankful she is a beautiful Christian lady with a wonderful husband and 2 beautiful children, who are my heart, along with our other 2. I'm thankful that she grew up healthy and happy and I'm thankful she's my daughter.

How is it possible to be so happy and so sad at the same time?
