Grasping at thoughts

Children at any age, young and old, just don’t have a clue! Children see life as they want to see it and not how it is. Parents? What do they know? Right? We are not old enough to understand who our parents are or what they are about. Oh, we get a glimpse of them every now and then, to a certain point, but the problem is, we will never be the same age as our parents, at the same time. So, the only thing that will be clear to us will be the moment-in-time when we are the age they were.

We will only understand their everything when it is too late to say to them: ‘Now I understand.’ So before you allow yourself to judge and misunderstand the why of it, wait until you are in the same situation and/or the same age…………. because, trust me, one day you will be.

Simply put: my mother and I will never be the same age at the same time……..so I’ll never fully understand the why of her life as it relates to me, until it’s too late. And neither will you. And that's a freakin' damn shame!!!
