fret not, the relationship changes and then you are needed again like an old friend that they can always rely on. This was beautiful and captured the emotional moment so clearly.✨🦋

The way you paint pictures and emotions with your words, as always, is so stunning. Kids really do grow up so fast.

This made me misty about when my kids will no longer ‘need’ me. 😭 My boy is approaching teenage years. It feels like it all went so fast but took forever.

Exactly. They grow up so fast.

My kids have long passed that stage but I so remember watching each one go to school for the first time. Their graduations. Life is so full of amazing moments we acknowledge but never really appreciate what just happened. I love fiction as an outlet to say what we can’t quite say in our everyday lives.
