It's true. Everyone knows time is a thief and yet we still let it pillage willy-nilly.
This is a relationship, like all relationships: trust, honesty, respect, boundaries.
Less saviour, more listener.
Fact: you're not the same. Live with it and learn from it.
You will always worry, but don't make this about you.
This relationship is both timeworn and contemporary. You've both made mistakes. Let shit go and shut up.
Don't leave the loving things unsaid and let your actions speak too.
Continue to pay attention, hear, love.
Be available. Don't hover. Jump at opportunities to make new memories together whether that's as simple as cleaning the garage together or a trip to Mexico (and everything in between).
Check yourself for updates aka use this extra time to become a better parent/person.
It does not matter your age; everyone needs someone who believes in them.

Thanks for the thoughts to ponder on.
Love the pooping cardinal card!
It’s also true for grandkids. We spent loads of time with ours but we’re lower than 10% now. At least the parents still have them kicking around the house.
Codex: You forgot the moments when they realize you were right.
We are very close to our daughter, and she says she always knew she was loved and supported. We're all grateful for that.
All good observations. I had not seen that quote before but it certainly seems spot on.
I needed this. I miss my children so much now that they are grown, even though they are just off living their lives, as they should be. Don’t hover. Let them come find you. That’s a good one.
