Mommy and Me: Days of sun and childhood

They are only young for what seems like a moment. One day toddling across a playground with a chubby hand in yours, the next swinging like Tarzan across monkey bars with ease. If I blink, one will be off to college while the other prepares for high school. 

Sometimes I manage to stop the chaos in my head and just... watch. 

"There are no happy endings. 

Endings are the saddest part, 

So just give me a happy middle,

And a very happy start"

-Shel Silverstein, Every Thing On It

"How do you like to go up in a swing,  
Up in the air so blue? 
Oh, I do think it the pleasantest thing  
Ever a child can do!"  
-Robert Louis Stevenson, A Child's Garden of Verses
