You see, I am at a new place in my life... my oldest has flown the coop, #2 is about to graduate college and my baby girl is almost half done with her college years. I spend more months out of the year with an empty nest than I do with a few birdies left.
I wish I had known these things:
- the last time I would breast feed my baby
- the last diaper I would change
- the last time I would get a babysitter
- the last time I would hold each of my girls in my lap
- the last time one of them would reach up for my hand to hold
- the last time I would read a bed time story
- the last time I would say "let's go potty before bed"
- the last time I would be able to kiss away a boo boo
- the last time the "suffrin rag" would be used
- the last time I would get a wet sloppy kiss from them
- the last time I would be their hero
- the last time I would be cool in their eyes
- the last time I would have all the answers
- the last time I would call them all to dinner
- the last time I would give them a ride somewhere or pick them up
the list could go on and on...
