Growing

My youngest granddaughter just started kindergarten, and though it's exciting, it's also bittersweet.  I have so much enjoyed being able to bring her to Nana's for sleepovers basically whenever it fits my schedule.  Now, I will have to work a little harder to find those special times.  She's grown up so fast!  As all of my grandchildren have.  My oldest granddaughter, sister to this little one, is now fifteen and driving.  My other two are nine and eleven.  Just doesn't seem possible!  As I've gotten older, it seems that time just speeds up.  I know that's not true, but it does seem to have gone fast!  What dreams do I have for these kids?  To grow up in a country that isn't as harsh as it seems right now!  To find someone to share their lives with that treasure them, support them, and always look out for their best interests.  For them to find work in their lives that fulfill them and engage their passion.  For them to develop faith and spirituality; not just find a religion, but truly something that engages their soul.  And I want them to find who they are and who they are meant to be; what their purpose in life is.  That's alot, I know.  But, they are my dreams!!
