Where has the time gone?

Troy Logan Addington

Wow, Troy graduates from elementary school in 3 weeks! Cody starts high school next year!!! Yes, I have given birth to a child that is starting high school! Where has the time gone? Life has flown by so quickly that I look back in a panic and think, "have I done enough, have I been good enough parent?"
Cody has already become a true teenager; we are very uncool and he doesn't want much to do with us. He's very sweet and respectful but very uninterested in us. Troy is not quite there but is well on his way. Troy still tells us everything about his life but would much rather "hang" with his friends then be with us. It's not fair, I just need more time!
I know most parents must feel this way but when it's all said and done I hope we will have had the time (and the skills) to accomplished what needs to be accomplished with our kids. Hopefully I'm not the only one who goes through these periodic parental panic attacks!

P.S. Click on the pic to read the poem, it's pretty.
