I found a photo today of my son at Sun Studios in Memphis. He was sitting behind a pearlescent blue drum kit smiling into space. He was 9 at the time. Not long ago. He went off to high school for the first time a couple of weeks back and already he seems more mature and less childlike.
As parents we fuss over things that make no difference and spend time worrying about stuff over which we have little control. The distance between us and our children growing all the time.
I remember Memphis and the long drive to get there with our two children growing up fast in the back of the car. I just didn’t appreciate how fast until I found that photo.
