O.K. So now it's time for some nostalgia......I recently attended the wedding of the son of a long time girlfriend and former neighbor. It was one of those garden weddings where absolutely everything was perfect: perfect weather, perfect flowers, perfect hair. All members of the wedding party looked like they could have been part of a portrait by Norman Rockwell, you know like the ones that graced the covers of the Saturday Evening Post magazine.
I remembered this groom as a small child toddling around the Court (Rock Spring Court, that is....great neighborhood to raise kids) and wondered just where did the time go....
But that is life....children grow, marry and then have children of their own. Within the blink of an eye, we're all suddenly looking at faces in the mirror and wondering who is staring back at us. When did we become our mothers/fathers? When did our hair begin to turn gray and when did the crow's feet appear around our eyes? Ah, such is life!
Strains from the song 'Sunrise/Sunset' rang thru my head as I listened to the bride and groom recite their vows to one another....yes quickly fly the years....
Time, won't you slow down a bit....not for very long, but for just a moment....please?
