Waning Day - Memories

My day is winding down. I found this picture on the computer tonight.
Fitting since I'm at TKD anyway.

My how they've grown. That was the first expansion summer. TKD in the park. Before the southside dojang was finished. Before Mr. G came out here even.
The day they earned their first stripes. Now working on green belts, demo team and BB after school program.

They are bigger, but still same height ratio - almost the same - even though years apart.
I remember taking that picture and all the others that day.
They were so excited and I was so proud. That was when I was first coming out of my shell around people again too.
J was 2 and trying to climb a tree that day. C was just barely 1, starting to walk and eating dandelion puffs that day. It was a good day. Any day we are all together is a good day though.
I remember being tired, but really happy. That was four years ago now. Moving into Jr. high this year. My how fast they grow. They seem to think it's not fast enough. And I wish I could stop the clock or slow it down just a little. All to soon it will be gone. Time marches on; waits for no one.

Somedays my memories are alot of fun to wander in.
One of these days I'll have to write their stories down again. They got lost and it would be good to have that again. So much thought got put into giving them a unique idenity. It was a real act of love. One that amazes me and chokes me up to this day. A gift, for each one.

La cantada de me corazon.
Venid a mi.
Escuche de los palabras de me corazon.
