My oldest daughter turned 19 today. So bear in mind, my mindset is stemmed from there...

I remember being a kid. Sitting at the breakfast table with my little brother and sister before school...or on weekends. Sitting there in our jammies and slippers. Eating and talking and laughing together. That's how we started out every single day.
It never occurred to me then that things would ever change. That there would come a time when we WOULD NOT be all together. That we would some day have to arduously PLAN to have time together.
Now that my girls are grown, it's become the same premise. I have to plan to see them. They come over around their work schedule and what-not. But it's just not the same. And I know it never will be. And part of me knows this is how it's SUPPOSED to be...the other part wants them to be 5 again...

the melancholy that is motherhood...
