Life goes on...

I was happy to hear about some friends getting together in Toronto to mourn our common loss and celebrate Justin's life.  I'm hoping to do a smaller get together next weekend when I'm there as well.  It's hard when you're far away from it all.

But the friends who were over this weekend reminded me of how easily we open our hearts and our doors to the people around us.  I can't believe it's been a full two years since we moved to Boston and the transformation is complete.  Not only do we now have our little darling K-man but we also have a plethora of friends and acquaintances; work colleagues; and even family that we did not know of when we first arrived!  

This does not mean that we forget our friends all across the globe - but it does show that there is only so much room in immediate circles to be in touch with so many people.  The past, is permanantly behind.

Growing old - time seems to move incrementally faster with more to do in less time.  You wonder whether you properly appreciated the times when you could drink a hot chocolate while sitting on a pier watching the waves toss back and forth; going for long walks and hikes up and down mountains; dancing in rain puddles.  Yet, these times will come again... just less often and more spread out.  Now, its not that I have the time but that I make the time.

I really enjoyed last night when little K-man woke up.  He's gaining yet another tooth and the pain of it keeps him up.  But I'm happy to have him jump and dance in my arms.  When he looks at me, he smiles.  He's so busy with discovering this world.  I'm loving watching and sharing every moment of it!
