May Day
Going to spend the rest of post May Day to nua around at home and then head out later.
The parentals celebrated their 22nd wedding anniversary yesterday and it still leaves me in awe how a couple can stay together for so long. There's so much to learn in a marriage, so many ups and downs, so many times where nasty cutting words may come flying out. Then there are children. Looking at church friends and seeing them at the cusp of parenthood, thinking about their children, talking about their children. How are you going to make sure your children get a good life, or are you doing them a disservice by bringing them into this ugly trecherous world, where they'll have to contend with grades and the rat race and the never-ending competition. Which school to send them to, whether they'll grow up to be precocious little children, or the heartache that follows if they rebel.
Speaking with my mother it suddenly hit me that she was 28 when she got married and 29 when she had me. Doing simple mathematics, that's not very far off actually. Which is scary. How time flies by. I DON'T WANNA GROW UP.
