Having one of those days/weeks/months thick with nostalgia. I had a dream a few months ago where I was playing with Large and Medium, only they were their four and two year old selves. I was back in time with them and it was fantastic. I could hold and squeeze them. It was that much sweeter, knowing now, only too well, how that time with them is so very fleeting.
It has all gone by too fast.
I wish I could have those days back. I feel like I would appreciate that time so much more now that I’m not so short on sleep. Seriously, I went something like five years never sleeping more than three hours in a row. That’s when I gave up wearing a watch. All it did was remind me how little time I had to sleep. So many days I woke up so tired that my first thought was, “Okay, twelve hours until I can go back to bed.”
I wish I could run in a perpetual loop between babyhood and the point where they start to figure out all the grown up worries in the world, sometime before their first real heartbreak, when they still think anything is possible.
Maybe I’ve been listening to too much Ben Folds.
Maybe when they have their own kids, I’ll come over and make sure they get enough sleep. They can soak it all up and they won’t have to dream about going back.
