Trace Adkins has a new song out right now, titled the above. It tells the story of a teenage girl as she ages to a mom. The moral being "You're going to miss this so stop wishing for the future."
The Mad Genius mentioned the song the other day and said it actually made him reflective.
It reminded him of when he was younger and always had friends around. Now everyone has their own lives and he doesn't see them as often.
Or now that his parents have aged, how active they used to be back-in-the-day. MG's parents would go to our parties and dance the night away. They would go four-wheeling. Now they're both in their 70's, those days are long gone.
And as I think about it. There are times that I miss, mostly quite the same as MG's. Times when everyone traveled as a group. When there WAS a group of us, before adult responsibilities intervened. I miss just the plain spontaneity of being young, of being able to drop everything without planning or worrying.
It's difficult to see the right now from the future. But it's intriguing to think about. What about right now are we going to miss?

Here Here Sister...long gone are those good ol' days of errant behavior and a total lack of responsibility...and I MISS THEM! Life seems so crazy/busy right now and full of endless exhaustion but I know once all the kiddies are grown and gone I will wish these days were back. Sighhhhh. Sometimes growing up sucks.
