“You’re Gonna Miss This” by Trace Adkins came on the radio today while I was driving to pick up John. Laura was sound asleep in the backseat and I was thinking about the wedding this past weekend and how it seemed like just yesterday that Andy and I got married. In reality, it’s been nearly 15 years since we got married. Flash forward in my mind and this picture appeared. This was taken when John was right about 2 weeks old. It was on this day that Laura decided maybe a baby brother wasn’t so bad after all.
I realized that tears were slipping down my cheeks because I *DO* miss those times. I miss the times before kids, the baby times, and all those times in between. Each new day is an adventure, but you really do miss the past. Times when you think, “It really can’t get any better than this.” Yet, somehow it does. I’m sure 20 years from now when I hear that song on the Internet, I’ll find those tears again.
“You’re gonna miss this. You’re gonna want this back. You’re gonna wish these days hadn’t gone by so fast. These are some good times, so take a good look around. You may not know it now….but you’re gonna miss this.”
