about to slow
January 8, 2012
my clyde turned 9 on friday and made me feel really old and completely in awe of our lives — and of his life in the way it belongs only to him. our kids’ passing years mark the passage of time in an entirely different way than our own. it doubles up the fear and worry and also the hopes and dreams.
after a couple bazillion mini celebrations with friends and family, i do look forward to the january slowdown and for all that the new year holds for us all.
waiting for the big sigh. here it comes …

oh goodness. i have a newborn and already in 3 months i agree. especially with what you say about marking the passing of time in an entirely new way. good grief, yes! happy new year to you.
