Times moves forward…she stops for no one perhaps that’s why the wise ones say we must cherish every minute… every moment… of every day. Perhaps that’s why as parents we try to make every moment with our children last knowing, from experience, childhood is over much too fast. Knowing once their childhood is over we only have time to blame… as to why summers and Christmases and holidays are never quite the same. Which is why, I imagine, there isn’t a parent out there once all their children have grown who…when they look around their house and find themselves alone… would give just about anything to bring back one more childhood moment would love to find a way… for their children to be children again… if just for one more day.

A lovely write... Maybe one day life would be recorded virtually and replayed at will...where you can experience the past all over again...
