I wish my Vee and Kee were home after school, but now they're off doing sports, study groups, and playing games with friends.
I wish my Jee was still the sweet little snuggle-bunny he used to be but instead, he's off and running on his own, fully independent. Some mornings I wonder if I could just sleep in and he'd still get to school on time (with breakfast eaten, clothes put on properly, lunch packed).
I wish my Aee was fully independent, confident, and strong, yet I don't want to miss a minute of these years while she's still light enough for me to pick her up in my arms and comfort her.
Ambivalence.
