Today's the first day of school for one of my high schooler's and my jr. high schooler. The other high schooler has her first day tomorrow.

The summer sure did go by fast. I wish we could have done more together - but they were busy with their friends and didn't have time for dad.

The passage of time becomes more and more painful as you see friends and loved ones move on in their lives and leave you behind.

Sigh.
