Where did the time go!

As my wonderful wife had a business trip today and I was at home getting the kids up and ready for school I had a moment where I remember my boys (now in gr 7 and 8) younger.  Dragging my youngest out of bed, literally, and helping them get dressed.  Today I wandered by their rooms and turned on their lights and said "get up".  After a few grunts and complaints I found them downstairs eating their own breakfast.  I sat there and realized that I would not get to do all those wonderful things.  Don't get me wrong I really didn't like harassing my kids to get up, I know my wife didn't!  I just can't help missing my kids being younger.  I guess all I can do is enjoy what is in front of me!
