When we were little...we always said we wanted to grow up...

But now...

We've grown but somehow some of us are regretting it...

Wishing we could go back to those days where our parents would read us a bedtime story...tuck us in bed......

I want to slow down and go back in time to relive those memories again...

My little girl turned 30 today. We celebrated last week when she was in town but that's not the same. Not a day goes by where I don't feel this way.
My little boy turns 33 in 2 weeks. When he was born, "Cats In The Cradle" by Harry Chapin was the song that sent me into tears. This captures even more of that bittersweet feeling.
I sit here crying knowing that while I have awesome relationships with my kids and they are accomplishing great things in life, I do sometimes wish indeed that they could have "slowed down".
I thank you for this incredible song and the unconditional love it portrays.

I remember when I was little and I asked my mom if I could stay with her forever and never move out. Even though you will eventually grow up and want to move out, you'll always remember being a kid and loving your mom so much you never wanted to leave, and she'll remember it too, and they'll be memories to cherish forever. I'm a mom now, and if my daughter tells me she wants to stay with me forever, I'll be really happy even though I know she's going to grow up and get tired of her mom and want to move out. I'll be happy because it's a beautiful memory to have.

@Oh4FoxsSake

Congratulations on your wedding Kevin! I’m not sure if you two plan to have a family someday or not. It’s a very personal decision that isn’t right for everyone. I will tell you though, that you will never be able to fully grasp or comprehend how much your parents love you until the first time you hold your 1st born in your arms. There are many people that you will love in your life. Your parents, siblings, friends, especially your spouse. But the moment that little hand grabs hold of your pinkie is the moment you get to learn what it means to love someone unconditionally. There is nothing stronger or more powerful in this entire world than the love a mother & father have for their children. ♥️

You are in my prayers as a mama to 3. My oldest is now in 11th grade and I remember back when I was young. It seems like yesterday. I remember not wanting ot grow up as it seemed so scary to me. But now I'm walking beside my children going through the same things, holding their hands but allowing them to grow. The years go by so fast and just know that you start every day with a single step. You do not need to jump. Just step forward. Little by little.
And also know we mamas love it when even our older children just want to be held and sung to. That's where the blessings of being a parent come from 🤗 God bless!

My older cousin just used this for a video of her baby's first year. I had never heard it before that. I'm 15 and sobbing my eyes out. After finishing freshman year, I quickly realized I only have 3 years until graduation. Then what? I wish I could slow down, and be with my parents longer. All those days of being 5, 6, 7 when all I wanted to do was grow up, that's all over. If I could fall asleep in my mom's arms like I did for the first four years of my life, I'd do it in a heartbeat. I didn't know it then, but at age eight, I had it all. Worry free and ready to take on the world. Now I'm too grown up for everything I used to love, the stress is real, and nothing seems simple. Nothing is familiar and the future is scary. Anyone with me?

Edit: I love how people are asking for an update now 💜
I graduated high school in June of 2021, and I just started college this fall. I’m an education major. I still miss the past-right now, I feel like I am just tumbling through life. I think more people need to say that it’s okay if you don’t really like college that much. It doesn’t have to be “the best four years of your life.” Right now, I feel like I’m in that stage of life when I just want to be in those years when you settle into a routine; I want a degree, a job, a home, a family, and a little stability. I know that’s easier said than done haha, and I’m sure when I’m in line at preschool drop off for the umpteenth time I’ll be wishing for a little mix up in life. But right now, it’s something new every time things start to feel a little bit normal.

Whenever I feel like ugly crying this is my go to song...lol Actually when ever I need a reminder of how Life is to short ...to Slow down with my kids because it's been a hard day...I listen to this song. Nicole, all your music has been the soundtrack to my life since the day I accepted Christ, Since I lost my daughter's dad to suicide. Our beautiful daughter grew up listening to you. Then I remarried and now have two beautiful little boys. One of which was diagnosed with a rare type of epilepsy. Your music has helped get through all those good and bad moments in life and has brought me all the more closer to God. You are a blessing, Thank you!

I'm laying here with my babe and I was singing worship songs to her just like my mom and I got to do when I was little when I found this song. She passes away in april from breast cancer and never got to see her grandbaby. So I'm a mother with her daughter and a Daughter without her Mother and this song made me SOB.

Balling my eyes out watching and listening to this. I still rock my almost two year old to sleep because I know soon I won’t be able to. I don’t care what anyone has to say about that and he can fall asleep independently when I don’t. I sit with my other son who is three and hold him tight every morning because he says he misses me while he sleeping and he stopped letting me rock him to sleep when he was eight months old. Now I’m getting a second chance. These are the moments you can’t get back. Love my two boys more than anything ❤

It really makes you think of how blessed I am to have my mom in my life. No I wasn't always the best child to her but she still kept putting up with me.

And you know what too, even though my dad is not in my life I love him too and I can't wait to see him on earth and if not then in heaven. But I'd love to see him on earth

@Oh4FoxsSake

One day (if) when you welcome your own little one into the world and they put them into your arms for the 1st time, this will be the moment that you will finally realize just how much your mom loves you & you will feel guilty for every tear you made her shed! 😂 I’m joking with that last part! But really, until then, you know she loves you, you think you know how much, & you think you understand the meaning of unconditional love but until that moment, you really don’t have the capacity to understand a love that large!

(I’m sure it’s exactly the same for fathers as well. I just can’t speak from experience there.)

This is a wonderful song
Here I am a 17 year old sobbing in bed at 10 pm cuz of this
I love this song so much but it makes my heart ache because of the connection I make to my mom
Her and my father divorced when I wan very young and made the hard decision that I'd be best with my dad
From ages 5 and on I saw my mom maybe 1-4 times a year
She never got to watch me grow up like a normal mom does, and she still doesn't get too since she lives out of the country, all she got to see was 1-3 week snapshots into my life a few times a year and it makes my heart break
I know her decision was the bear thing and I love her to bits but the pain and confusion I delt with I can only imagine knowing your child is growing up and achieving things and hitting milestones and you don't get to see any of it because they are hours away and you needed to get away and find your happyness.
I love her so much, when she did see me she showered me in love and encouraged me to be independent and follow my dreams

Everytime I listen to this I want to cry, and sometimes I start crying, and I'm only 14. But my parents and I were in the car and it was my 14th birthday and this song came on the radio and my mom said "this is my song to you" and we sat there listening to it and we all started to tear up and cry. I'm turning 15 next year and I might have a Quinceañera and if I do, I'd want to use this song for the daddy daughter dance, and probably dance with my mom during this song too... But I'm not sure how we'd be able to handle how emotional it would be.
