Where did it go???

I am wondering where the year went, no i am wondering where the last 10 years went.
I know when i was young , i couldn't wait to get older, Now, i just want everything to slow down. All my kids(except the last one) are grown with kids of their own, well Misti has a dog, but anyway i don't know how this all happened so fast.
As i reflect back on years gone by and remember all the fun times with a lot of family members who i do not have anymore it is sad . But i know i was blessed to have them in my life. they were special to me.
And i guess i was always my Daddy's baby, but i wish things would have been different so i could have spent more time with him.
And oh my Momma , there isn't a day that goes by that i don't wish i could talk to you just one more time, you always had time to listen.
But now i am the Mom who is listening , and let me tell everyone this is the hardest job i ever had, but i love it. I am so glad my kids know they can talk to me, i honestly believe that our kids are our greatest gifts from God. Even when we got Shania, all i could say is are you kidding me God, what are you thinking, i am 46 years old and you hand me a baby 10 months old to raise. But as usual he was right and it has worked out just perfect. a lot of people think we have missed out on life raising another child at our age, but they don't really understand, yes we could have had a lot more financially and have traveled more and just been able to get up and go when we wanted, but that wasn't in God's plan. And i am thankful everyday he thought of me and Danny when he needed someone to take care of a little girl.
As Shania would say life is like a box of chocolates you never know what you are going to get.( she just saw the Forrest Gump Movie).
