Need to look forward not backward
When looking backward I’ll miss my times with Nick at home
Our early morning chats as we had breakfast
And the rest of the family was asleep
Seeing him make lunch with left overs each day
Asking me, “can I take the whole thing?”
Giving himself lots of time so as not to rush in the morning
Reminding him to take two Cold Fx when he was sniffling
And wondering if he had got enough sleep
But as I look forward
I’ll enjoy Nick and Magalie coming over for dinner
Or somethings brunch
Planning get aways together when their busy schedules allow
Watching them decorate their place
And create a cozy space for themselves
And thank God for the internet
We no longer live in the same house
But he is a few clicks away
And he answers fast
There is also is FaceTime
Children leave home
It’s inevitable
But no one said it’s doesn’t require some adjustment time
