Yep.

About "a month ago" my daughter was toddling around. "Last week" she was at college "Yesterday" she moved into her own place with her boyfriend.

I rarely see my daughter now that she has her own fulltime life.

If I can be future-you to anyone here, make the absolute most of your kids' time. It really REALLY flies by.

I've felt this with other peoples kids even. My colleague had a precocious teenager, and by the time I'd gone done another job, and come back, that kid was working at microsoft.

In my other job, a fresh new colleague had a 5 year old kid. When I left that job, that kid was applying for university.

What the actual fuck.
