Two days ago:
The days roll past, turn to years, and those pass too. Babies grow into toddlers, and then children, and then young adults, adults, middle-aged, old, and so they pass too.
It is not easy, always, seeing this change. It is an ache in the heart, seeing them change so fast ... watching the older generation pass away, seeing the next rise to fill their shoes, knowing that your turn is coming, and that your children's turn will be next.
But there is hope, too. For there is always a next generation, always another batch to rise, always more children to grow into adults, take up the flame, carry on.
There are always more babies to sit in the old apple tree.
