Sunrise, Sunset

I remember as a little girl, that my one of my Mom's favorite songs from Fiddler on the Roof was Sunrise, Sunset.
She said it always made her cry, because that is how she felt as her children grew up. It seemed so fast to her.
I didn't exactly know what she meant at that time, but now I do.
I look at this photo of Brad and Krystal, and wonder how the time flew by so fast? Yes, this is my little Bradley, the boy that made us laugh and smile a lot. Now he is all grown up, married to a beautiful and smart girl and they are ready to take on the world. Wow, that time did seem to fly and just like my Mother said...I feel like crying! Needlesstosay that Mother's are always right!  :)

Good night dear friends!
