As the saying goes, “The days are long, but the years are short.” This sentiment resonates deeply with every parent, especially as they watch their little ones grow up too fast. This week, singer Mia Thompson shared a poignant video on her social media that is sure to tug at your heartstrings, just in time for Mother’s Day. Seriously, grab those tissues! It’s a stark reminder of how quickly our children evolve, racing towards that moment when they leave the nest. You’ll be left reminiscing over baby photos, wishing they’d just pick up the phone and call — or is it just me? Sobs quietly
“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…” The lyrics encapsulate the bittersweet nature of parenthood. Mia’s reflections under the video hit home: “I can’t think of a phrase uttered more frequently by mothers at any stage of motherhood than ‘It’s going by too fast.’ I find myself wishing for a time machine, just to relive those midnight rocking sessions with my babies.” Yes, I’m guilty of that too.
In her heartfelt post, she elaborates: “If you’ve ever seen your child sprinting across a field, or stepping onto a graduation stage, or walking down the aisle with a bouquet, you’ll understand why this song resonates so deeply with me.” So, take a moment to savor those fleeting instances and share them with those you cherish.
