My boy is turning 18 today and I feel like crying
Then i'll have to look forward to his graduation, he's finishing school this year. Where did time go?
He is still my baby, but now he's a big baby LOL
Do you get emotional watching your children grow and become adults?
I just finished reading Bill Bryson's book "I'm a Stranger Here Myself" - great book. In one chapter he writes about his sons growing up - beautiful, funny, and sad....here it is.....
Sure I do....I look around and try to figure out how I became a grandma so quickly.
Not that I would change anything. And my sister a Grandma now too?
It was just yesterday when we were taking our kids to see their grandma.
My son is turning 5 and off to Kindergarten and I often wonder where my little baby boy went. He's still sweet and I love him to pieces but i miss that innocence of the young baby ages.
(sniff) I supposed we have to learn to slowly let go, until one day they are on their own.
Time goes by so fast, doesn't it?

Just wait------at one point they will start getting mail from AARP, retirement communities, and old-age investment opportunities.
They will get high blood pressure and arthritis. Their joints will creak and their muscles will ache as bad or worse than yours do.
Then you will look back on these early years and think about how wonderful it was to watch them grow into adults. It's nothing like watching them dashing towards their Golden Years.

We have several of his books on tape, this one included, and I can even hear him speaking this as I read it. Bill Bryson is the best, thanks for posting that.

My oldest girl is 14 and she came one day and said she has a boyfriend and it was like a light switch...she no longer wanted to cuddle with me ..and was too old to be my little girl...I cried...

That's what my mom said when my sister became a grandma last week.
She says it's been bittersweet to watch everybody grow up.
I still haven't figured out why she laughed every time we called and complain about our teenagers tho....
