My God, I cannot believe I am getting ready to have a 'deep' moment.
I remember when my kids were 3 and 4 and 5 and so on and so on. Thinking of them growing up and leaving my home was the equivalent of the days when I thought 30 was so far away and so 'old'
Enjoy them every day. My oldest has a 6 1/2 month old son. I love my grandson more than life itself; there is a small part of me which is reminded of those days with my babies. How I miss those days.
Deep moment over, back to kicking some Durham ass, LOL!
It's funny how angry they can make you one second, then a smile and a laugh melts your heart all over again. The baby days are certainly a rollercoaster. On a side note, I am working July 11-August 4 in Cary, NC at Research Triangle Park. I will be curious to get the local flavor on this case. The downside is I will be away from the wife and kids the entire time, but I figure that we have men and women overseas fighting wars that are gone for months at a time. My time away will be nothing compared to what these brave people do voluntarily, and my life won't be at risk unless I pay a visit to Mikey LIEfong. ;)
