Isn’t it funny how the days can feel so long, yet the years fly by? No one knows this better than a parent. This week, singer Lisa Harper shared a poignant reminder on her Facebook page in the form of a video that is sure to bring on the tears just in time for Mother’s Day. Seriously, grab those tissues! There’s nothing that makes a mother’s heart ache quite like realizing her children are growing up so quickly, racing toward the day they leave home, leaving her to look at old photos, wishing they’d just call once a week—and oh wait, is that just me? Starts sobbing
“Slow down, won’t you stay here a minute more? I know you want to walk through the door, but it’s all too fast. Let’s make it last a little while. I pointed to the sky and now you wanna fly; I am your biggest fan, I hope you know I am. But do you think you can somehow slow down?”
Ugh. This hits hard.
“I don’t know of a more commonly whispered phrase from mothers of all ages about their children than ‘it’s going by too fast.’ I feel like I spend my life trying to slow down time,” Lisa writes under her video post. “I want to celebrate my kids’ growth and milestones while secretly dreaming about inventing a time machine in my garage just to rock my babies at midnight again.” Yup, totally guilty of that.
“If you’ve ever watched your child run across a field, stride across a graduation stage, or walk down the aisle clutching a bouquet, you’ll understand why this song resonates deeply with me,” she adds. “Please enjoy the video and reflect on those moments we wish we could savor, sharing them with those we love most.”
I’m not crying. YOU ARE!
