Loved seeing your father and son photo. I do the same thing with photos and thoughts. Can't get over how quickly your grandsons have grown into young men, but mine are growing quickly as well, and that's just life. It just seems like it's all going much faster at our age, as you said! podsohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14880888514207597761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-56245988642854632752020-02-26T00:06:17.658-05:002020-02-26T00:06:17.658-05:00Just read this post again :) It was just as good t...Just read this post again :) It was just as good the second time around!

I am the queen of inconsistency when it comes to blogging (you have certainly figured that out by now... I have the "want to" but just not the discipline!) and just have to say how much I admire you. Even while going through all this, you still maintain this beautiful Haven of yours. I am officially adding you to my prayer list, Vee, and believe that God will bring you through this. I loved reading back through and seeing your grands and the Christmas posts and even the fall foliage posts I missed. May you know the nearness of Jesus now more than ever before!<br /><br />ChristiCharm and Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04930920593855400694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-38133622499350778982020-02-18T10:22:24.686-05:002020-02-18T10:22:24.686-05:00Yes, I completely agree.

Yes, they do grow up so quickly, don't they, and I agree that time is flying by. When our Will was little I remember saying to my grandmother that time was flying. She replied, "Wait until you get my age." I'm starting to understand what she meant, for sure. <br /><br />I just love when grandparents are supportive of their children and grandchildren by attending their activities. Both sets of our parents have done that, and I will be forever grateful and I believe our son will too. I hope you're feeling well these days, Vee. Also, I really like the Native American saying at the beginning of your post. Very true, too. Have a great week!<br /><br />Warm hugs,<br /><br />Denise at Forest ManorDenisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01235440820949449634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-85895258256829980632020-02-03T17:57:27.655-05:002020-02-03T17:57:27.655-05:00No, but you’re giving me ideas.

Fourteen can be a rough age...our Parker will turn 13 in a couple of weeks and yes, it makes me a bit sad that our grands seem to grow quicker than our own kiddos did. The quote is so appropriate for any age but particularly for a youth trying to figure out what life's all about....wonderful post.

I loved basketball and softball in my youth...and my grands have not really shown much interest in those sports as yet.
