Time.
Every now and again when I’ve had a chance to stop whatever it is that I am doing, I find myself in total denial at how fast time actaully moves. With that feeling, I sometimes feel regret. Regret that I can’t spend more time with my wife and son. I am grateful that I get to work from home, but it is sometimes difficult to hear Kara and Dallin in the other room playing, when I am stuck in my office working. At first, Kara used to hold him and bring him to my office door waiting to see if it was an okay time to come in and say hi. Now, I hear the sound of pitter-patter on the carpet as Dallin crawls into my office on his own. He is growing so fast.
Today (May 7) was his 10 month birthday. 10 months already?!? It hit me when Kara and I went on a date this evening and we began discussing what we want to do for his 1 year birthday. I don’t want him to grow up. There are still some things I feel unprepared for. I hope and pray that I will be the mentor that he needs throughout his life. I’ll let you know how it goes.
