TIME GOES BY . . .

Lyrics of Unchained Melody sung by The Righteous Brothers claim, "Time goes by so slowly ..."

That may be true when waiting to re-unite with the open arms of your love as in the song but in most other instances "Time goes by so quickly..."

Today, my first born is celebrating his 47th birthday ! It seems as if it were only a few years ago that he caught his first fish and slept with it all night. I think it was just a few years later, he was blasting me out of the house with his endless loud music of Fleetwood Mac and ZZ Top.

Shortly after his teenage years, he graduated from college, married and had a daughter - all (seemingly) within a matter of weeks !

He endured my learning how to be a parent when I wasn't much more than a child myself, and through all the bumps of his life and mine, we have always been there for each other sharing unconditional love.

The past 47 years have flown, but what a glorious ride! Happy Birthday, Kirk !
