What makes it easier for me to see how I change or my kids change is reflecting back, to reminisce, old photographs, or by reading old journals or blogs.
I came across an old "Jacquie quote" last night that illustrates my point.
What's a "Jacquie quote" you might ask?
Well sometimes my kids say things that I make note of, or quote of, for myself or for them to recall at a future date.)
Sometimes the quotes are funny, sometimes sentimental, sometimes just to illustrate or mark their passing of age. Such is the case with this particular quote (a Jacquie Quote)
I re-found last night.
Here's an exchange between Jacquie and I that took place a year ago in October of 2010.
Jax: When I get my permit, I get the Jimmy since caroline is going through this stupid no driving stage.
Its in the Lower 40's and I'm still walking to school? This is ridiculous!!!!!
Me: I love you!
Jax: Caroline doesn't love me mom! When you get back and I get my permit, like seriously can I start driving to school? Not all of us are immune to getting hypothermia!!!
Me: Hang in there!
Jax: I'll try, but not all of us have jackets that match every outfit so there are two possible solutions;
we go shopping, or I start driving!
Me: Both options are possible in the near future!
Jax: Then I better get the jimmy and SOON cause I'm to young to die.
;-)
Fast forward a year ...
as Jacquie & I chill in our very 'sketch' hotel room in the Tenderloin area of San Francisco I stumble across this old note as I transferred them to my new phone.
I took the time to read to her what she had said a year ago.
Jacquie laughed out loud her wonderful boisterous laugh and said,
"That sounds so much like me! And I remember that day! Hahaha,
I was so overly dramatic then."
I simply said with a smile,
"yes you were."
