Take a moment to watch this authorโ€™s reading. I promise it is worth your time.ย  You might want to grab some tissues.

โ€œI know I can't make time slow down, can't hold our life as it is in a freeze frame or slow my children's inexorable journeys into adulthood and lives of their own. But I can celebrate those journeys by bearing witness to them, by paying attention, and, perhaps most of all, by carrying on with my own growth and becoming. โ€ โ€” Katrina Kenison, The Gift of an Ordinary Day
