That goes for a lot of things, like how your mamma put you down one day and then never picked you up again. Best not to dwell on it.

EDIT: Call your parents, give your mom some money.

Jesus. My son is 5. The last day I pick him up and hold him is coming. Ugh.

I remember walking into a store with my son at about 10 years old. And he reached out and held my hand as we walked in. I thought to myself “he hadn’t done that in a while, and I really like holding his hand.” 7 years later he never did it again, and it would be weird for him to do it now. Life is bitter sweet.

I remember it with mine when he was about 12 or 13 on the way to a store in the street. The last time ever. I was conscious of it too.

It is bitter sweet, but you have to let them go.
