They're Getting Married

I’m on a tear with my friend’s children getting married. I have had the pleasure of dancing at the weddings of some of my closest friend’s children over the last year or two. To be honest, it’s a little surreal. I just don’t feel old enough.


This past weekend, I attended a bridal shower for the daughter of one of my closest friends. It was beautiful, warm and loving. It was also a little surreal for me. I have been close friends with the bride’s mother since our early days of high school. I know the bride since before she was born and watched her grow up.


But throughout the afternoon, I kept thinking, how can the years have past so quickly? I felt like singing Sunrise Sunset all afternoon. Truth be told, I was probably humming it under my breath.


It’s all good, as they say, but this time of life definitely has me reminiscing.

We remember when they were born...and now they're getting married. Just dance, it eases the pain.

I’m also on a tear with my eldest sons friends getting married. With my son being in the wedding parties as a grooms man. Been fun sitting with and dancing with all the parents of my sons friends. Yes friends for years. Since the kids were 5 .....

Yep -- it's a generational phenomenon. We're all going through it. And may do so again, in 3 decades, when it's the grandkids' times!
