Nine Summers

I've read you only have nine summers with your kids.

That's quite scary. I am not sure that can be accurate though.

It's not as if a ten year old can
  • get his licence
  • get a job
  • have his/her own money, or 
  • sign any contracts
so that must be an exaggeration.

Any way you look at it though, your time with your kids is limited. I have struggled over the years to remember that and have sometimes resented the massive time investment required.

But more recently I am regretting that resentment! You can't switch back the clock - and you can't make your children or yourself young again.

Live with them and love them today, 'cause tomorrow they'll be gone.
