13 years?!? Can't be. How?

[nagantguy]

My daughter who some of you or know of will be 13 tomorrow! It seems I just blinked,just brought her home from the hospital,just had a 3 day battle with the dog because she was sure she would sleep on the shelf under the bassinet where the diapers would go! The dog won that battle;it was all years ago! It was last week the first time we we went on a picnic in the woods wasn't it? It was just the other day I was the secret story teller for a first grade class, just a few weeks ago when we said our prayers together the first time; last month when she got her first deer with my old Winchester, last summer our first primitive camping trip?
No it was 13 years ago! How? She got a special gift from me but what she doesn't know is that this weekend the billboard at the local party store will have a special birthday message from me to her! And she doesn't yet know about the bucket o bullets,Remington 22s that I got for her to take on our camping trip next week!

My youngest was born Christmas day, it seems like several years ago, in 1987.
Good parents, I've been told, raise their children to be independent, self reliant, and responsible. And when they are and fly like quail, it breaks your heart to see them go. And it happens way too fast and way too soon.

Next thing you know you'll be walking her down the isle!

You're daughter is just a couple months older than mine. I've been feeling much the same way. Here is this young lady, who's looking much too grown up. Where did my little girl go?!? She's really a good kid and we're proud of her.

Enjoy and appreciate every day. As my wife says, "The days are long but the years are short."

And it goes even faster now! My two daughters are 19 & 21! I simply don't know where the time went!

I know the feeling my daughter is 8 and my son is due any day now.

The fun is just beginning. Wait til she realizes she is xteen going on thirty!

Everyone says that girls are harder to raise than boys, but I brought up three girls, all grown women now, and never found it to be a problem. I taught them all to shoot, and when I go home to visit, that is usually one of the things we do together.

Wish the Young Lady Happy Birthday from all of us. They do grow up fast but I'll bet she will always be Daddy's Girl! We're into Grandchildren now and they grow up fast too!

Remiel, don't dread it, cherish it. Its all part of the process. Make the most of it while you can, they will be grown before you know it.

My Grandson is off to College this fall! We leave this weekend on a fishing trip. Where did all the time go to?

[mold maker]

My eldest is over 51 and the younger is 49. You fellows are enjoying your best years. Make all the memories you can while the opportunity exist.
Getting old is both a blessing and a curse. The difference is what you did with your children and grandchildren.

Well done. My girl turns 15 this year....

Remiel, is that a NEW Mosin?

As my daughters get older, I might have to invest in a Doofenschmirtz Away-inator: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=uwYhRxio5a0
