My own baby girl was IN a wedding this past summer. One of her high school friends who is a few years older than her…. got married. I know that sounds like a DUH! moment, but it made me sit up and realize that marrying off my baby girl is not that far in the future…. like another 10 years maybe. Maybe.
Today is a wedding of a daughter of one of my friends. That means I’m old enough to have friends with daughters getting married. I know that sounds like another DUH! moment, but I’m realizing again that marriage of ones children is inevitable. But how can it be happening to young people MY age???? I am heading over early to help with decorating. That’s what MY MOM used to do. MY MOM!
So, as today slips by, remember to hug your little babies, who may be taller than you now. It won’t be long until they come and tell you that they are leaving you FOREVER. Sad but true! Happy but true! This IS what we prepared them for, but no one prepared ME!

Val loves to admire babies in church, a restaurant, a store, etc. and she usually always tells the young parents, “enjoy them when they are small because they will grow up and be gone so fast”.

Val I feel the same way! Love those babies. They do grow up so fast – take time to enjoy the special moments.
