Too Soon – Too Fast
Megan was determined to use the sewing machine when she would come to visit. As luck would have it, we both were able to sit side by side and stitch and visit. Priceless.
My grandchildren are growing up too soon, too fast. I realize this is the design of our Lord’s world. I would like to drag my feet a bit, but it’s not going to happen. December 2nd, Megan will be 14. Dennis and I have grown up with Megan teaching us all about what it was to have her ideas brought out, her ability to express herself and best of all endless hugs. With Carrie and Megan spending some time with us on Stauffer Avenue over the Thanksgiving weekend, we couldn’t get over her sense of responsibility and adapting to being in Jr. highschool. Best of all was her enthusiasm in creating sewing projects that were spot on. Eden Prairie isn’t that far away from Stauffer. A bit under two hours and the trip is complete. Megan commented that she wouldn’t have her license for driving for another two years but there was more sewing with Grammie in her plans. It cracked me up when she commented that she might have to learn the Metro Mass Transit for visiting us in the mean time. Megan honey, I don’t think the Metro Mass Transit will ever reach that far.
This last weekend was a joy watching Megan man my updated sewing machine . . . and she nailed it. These fourteen years have gone way to fast, way too soon.
