Olivia is 33 now, but I remember the first night she woke us up crying . . . like it was last night . . . (and thinking *when will this ever end?*) It did. Too soon and forever gone.
Yep. The ONLY piece of parenting advice I've ever given people is the message of that song: it'll be gone so ****ing fast. Each stage. Try to sit in it rather than wish it gone.
Oh yeah, that Prine song always gets to me. Another that always kills me is Darius Rooker's "It Won't Last for Long"
Hey, Tom!
Christ, I hadn't heard that song and it just FLATTENED me. Oof. Thanks for pointing me at it...
i'm assuming you have a daughter as well . . .
but I misnamed it! "It won't be like this for Long" right? I listen to it whenever I want to cry.
A son - but he went back to college last weekend so it's raw ;-)
