feeling old

Addison starts preschool on the 23rd. Its so hard to believe she is starting preschool this year. Before I know it she will be graduating high school and college.
My kids are making me feel older as each day passes. My cousin Seth turned 17 this summer and I remember when he was this cute little coal black haired little baby boy. I was 8 when he was born! The maddness of how fast time passes! Brayden will be a year next month on the 20th and in November it will be a year since Popple died. I still think about him and miss him everyday. When I listen to the CD tht Bob Page made of him playing his guitar and singing I start to cry because I wish I could see his face one more time. I get this picture in my head everytime of him sitting in his recliner in the living room on the edge of it playing his guitar and singing as his glasses seem to fall of the end of his nose. I cry everytime I hear his voice. I never knew it could be this difficult to lose someone that ment so much to me. I never realized how much he really ment till he was gone. At this point all the stuff you hear all the time life is short and cherish what you have and all of that makes more and more sense and really has started to hit home with me.
thank goodness for pictures and that Popple was an artist. I have only a few of his paintings because my dad gave them away, But what I have means a lot to me and I will never part with them.
