Four years...

Four years... It's amazing what all happens in four years time. People come into your life, others who you thought would always be there, walk away.  There are days where you're so happy you think your heart will burst, and days when you feel as though your heart has been ripped from your chest. 

Children grow up. They leave babyhood and enter adolescence, leave adolescence and go right into young adult. I've watched as they started kindergarten and another finished high school and headed off to college. 

Four years is a short time but it's also a very long time.  

Thinking of you today.  Going to hug the kids a little longer and a little tighter. Wish you could see them now!
