@Denisse, I loved that part of her post as well. It was so sweet how she described her current relationship with her husband. It’s definitely something to look forward to.

Wow. I have really dreaded the thought of my kids going away to college and I know how fast time goes by so I try to enjoy my days with my kids (they’re three and one). It is kind of hard because I work outside of the home so at the end of most days I feel time is flying by and I’m not enjoying them as much as I want. But Maria and her article have made me feel like I have something to look forward to when “that time” comes Being with my husband and enjoying each other.
Thank you so much!

Oooops! I just realized that I typed “Melanie” in my original comment. It should’ve been “Maria.” Sorry about that!

Melanie,
Wow, your post on taking a step back into the future hit me like a ton of bricks! Still wiping the tears from eyes. I just keep thinking about being a new mom and hearing people tell me all the time “…enjoy parenthood, it goes by so quickly.” When you’re sleep deprived and juggling it all it doesn’t make one bit of sense. It sounds sooo ridiculous. But here I am five years later – beginning the Kindergarten admission process for my oldest child and I’m overwhelmed with emotion. I never ever thought I’d say it but five years has flown by. As much as I long for my life of solitude prior to kids the thought of sending them off to college freaks me out. And I know it will be here sooner than I know it. Thanks so much for sharing your own personal journey.
