Layne lost her first two teeth this summer. The last kid in the family to have dad yank out their first tooth. I woke up one morning to her squealing and screaming in the living room when he finally got her front tooth out. And so the next little kid has that irresistible toothless grin. gone so fast.
Life doesn't hold still. Time doesn't show any mercy. soon it will be the last tooth pulled. the last soccer goal. the last piano lesson.
"I never said goodbye to all your yesterdays long past. So what about tomorrow -- will I recognize your lasts?"
"Let Me Hold You Longer" by Karen Kingsbury
"this is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it." psalm 118:24
