Time Passages - Al Stewart
I feel nostalgic tonight. I am not sure why the past is on my mind but it is. Not a melancholy sort of thing, but a question really. I find myself wondering tonight why I didn't notice important events. Why when you live life do you miss the big, little moments?
My children are grown, not a part of my daily life for years. I wonder how did the last time I packed a diaper bag go un-noticed. When did I last tie a shoe for them. With our roles reversed this summer as they cared for me, I realized for the first time ever, I was not the leader. It occurs to me that I let go of little pieces of my leadership role one piece at a time...yet I don't remember doing it. When did I rock them each last? In that moment that I didn't conceive .... did I appreciate what I was about to give up? I mean was I connected or was I worried about dinner.
So it makes me ask myself today...what might I regret not noticing in my life currently? I am going to think about that!
