Cycle of life

Lori Day 1964 (USA)



It feels like you were just born. I turned around you finished school.
It is amazing that you are all grown up and married.
You have your own family.
Moving away.
My heart is full of pride.
But part of my heart is already missing you.
Visits and texts will help the loneliness.
Real hugs are cherished and remembered till the next hug comes no matter how much time is in between.
Love and care for your new family because one day you will turn around and your kids will finish school and it will just be the two of you.
Life goes so fast so enjoy as much as you can.
