Parents Something to think about...Putting it all in perspective

I found this video through a dear friend. This is something that every parent should see:

Thank you for this! On a day like today, I certainly needed to be reminded that this time with my beloved children will pass so quickly. This morning I left saying, "When will I ever get a chance to rest?" I am not really in any rush. I just had a moment of insanity!

As a parent who recently sent one off to college, a parent who is about to send another off to college, a parent who has a boy who is heading into the teen years that shuts the door to his bedroom, a mom of a 9 year old innocent boy, and a 5 year old girl, I can relate to this very well. Sometimes when I take my 5 year old into the gym, I am wondering how to hold onto this time that we have together. If she sticks with this sport, I will have less and less time with her. She is also extremely good for a 5 year old and loves the sport so I am praying for balance. I did ok with the others but it is different with each child.
