Jean, this means so much to me. I cannot tell you how wonderful it is to know that you and your daughter can relate to my writing. This is exactly why I publish what I write—in the hopes of reaching out and connecting to others, so that we feel a sense of community through our experiences, however alone we sometimes feel as individuals. Thanks again for visiting, taking the time to read and then comment. xo

My daughter got me hooked on you. She is a young mother, and I am the grandmother. Our grandloves are 7 and 3&1/2 already…how can that be? Your thoughts are wonderful and I’m so glad other parents follow you. Don’t stop writing!! When my youngest went to Kindergarten (I AM a crier…BIG time…HSP AND introvert) I’d drop him off and watch him walk into school. After a while I noticed how many of the Mom’s in our cars would sit there and watch the school long after the kids were off the playground. Were they thinking the same thoughts I was? There goes my baby boy…how fast he has grown up. Did I do the right thing keeping him back a year until he was 6? (YES!!!!!!!) It was comforting to feel the mom’s around me. I remember it like it was yesterday. He and his wife of a year and a half just bought their first home. Again, thank you, Brittany…keep writing!!!!

Thank you so much for taking the time to read and then comment, Shelley. Staying present during these days is sometimes hard, but it’s so important. xoxo

Yes, that is the great truth. And just as I was painfully aware of it as I loaded my little twin kiddos on the bus for kindergarten not all that long ago, I’m staring down that truth again as I help them schedule classes (already!) to start high school in the fall. High school! I don’t know how we got here so fast. Your post is a perfect reminder to try, even though sometimes it is very, very hard, to live in the moment … because the moment will be gone all too soon.
