I remember those days. I had have two daughters and I worked at home. I remember when the house would be full of kids and noise and laughing and carrying on and I would sometimes say to myself, my gosh, I can't wait until school starts, or break is over or they grow up. And then they do grow up and sometimes they move away. The house is quiet now. I have a wonderful relationship with my children and I have four lovely grandchildren, but they live far away from me now and, if I am lucky, I get to see them twice a year. This was the first Christmas that no one's schedule could get worked out for us to be together. Now, as I near 60, I think back on the times when I wished the noise would stop and I regret that I didn't find more joy in it. I wish for the noise back and the laughter of children. Even for their fighting and messiness. Don't be so quick to wish it gone. I saw this with honesty and understanding and not with any criticism at all. I miss my children being small.
