Throwback Thursday…In the Blink of An Eye


While I was never blessed with children of my own, life gifted me with many wonderful children in my life. 


Unfortunately, they grow up far too quickly. 

This young man, pictured below (with his baby brother) in 2009, will soon attend his Homecoming Dance.




 

Every morning before school, I send him a motivational quote. Lately, he has been sending quotes back to me. His source?  The movies!


DON'T BLINK!

What fantastic photos! He's grown up into quite the young man. And yes, time does go so quickly. Poof!

Kathy love your throw-back.  So true in a blink of eye.  Our first grandchild graduates next June from high school.  So fast time flies. Bill

Hi Kathy - that is so nice.  I have a similar picture of my grandson with his baby brother.  Something for me to look forward to.

Good morning Kathy,

Good for you for adding a dimension to this young mans life with the quotes each morning. He will always remember this and now you have him engaged to sending you some. Seeing how he thinks and what is relevant in his world!

I agree Dorie Dillard Austin TX it's been interesting hearing what is thoughts are on the quotes. He is the one who wondered what the bluebirds did to enrich their lives.

I can hardly believe my babies are all in their thirties and early forties. Time surely does fly when you blink. But, like me I am sure you have many good memories.

Nick Vandekar, 610-203-4543 I can't believe that Larry's daughter will be 52 this year!!! We've been around since day 1 for our friend's daughter and can't believe that they have graduated college and in graduate school.

The kids don't appreciate the need to let us enjoy their youth as they're far too anxious to be grown and out. Oh well

Oct 13, 2022 01:21 PM

Ed Silva I agree. I'm sure our parents felt the same way.

They do grow up so fast Kathy!  I can't believe our oldest granddaughter is 14 - how did that happen!!  Cute photo of him and the baby.  And he sure grew into a good looking young man!

Hi Kathy,

I really do believe that it takes a special person to be in a child's life. You are that type of person.

Children do seem to grow up far too quickly.  I've noted that in my own family, and sometimes have trouble believing those little babies are now adults.

A friend recently reminded me of an old adage - as we get older, time passes more quickly. This is soooo true

Oh so true ... in the blink of an eye!  I have 3 children and in the past two years 2 of my 5 grandchildren have blessed us with 3 Great Grandchildren.  

Where did the time go?

Hi Kathy,
You know I love quotes! And, I love that you made a habit of sending a motivational quote to your nephew each morning. What better way to start the day? BTW: What source for quotes do you use?
