7 Years Later..

West Haven, Connecticut

I never thought of time itself and how relatively fast time goes by. When I was younger I would always want to be older thinking I would have more freedom but little did I know the value of time and how precious a childhood can be. I had to kind of grow up fast as a kid and with my parents divorcing and constantly moving from apartment to apartment if not from state to state it all went by in a blur. Now that I have kids and happily married I try to make the most of my time with my wife and kids and cherish every moment. Facebook has this feature of a yearly and even 5 year reminder of a pic you posted back then and the photo above is from 7 years ago. Its like they were born yesterday! Life is short, live free and be happy!

You are an amazing person. Do you think we all learn from our parents mistakes?

Thanks Vanny, I can say I learned from my parents mistake because I witnessed alot of fighting and arguing and I never knew what quality time was with my parents constantly in court fighting over custody etc

Yes, time does go by fast and time is a terrible thing to waste. I know a person who blew the past 5 years, just through it away. There is no way the person can go back and correct it. It is a shame.

That's the irony, isn't it? When young, time is slow and we want to be grown up then sad reality hits and we desperately want to be young again.
