Maybe it isn't until we get old that we see just how unimportant the various bits of our life actually were, and where the value really lay. Those bits we keep, the rest passes away.

That may be it...we should hope he ages soon,then!
Its odd though, that we can't really fully understand each stage of life until we're either living it or have been through it, & I was just thinking about that yesterday, eldest granddaughter's 34th birthday so she's in the midst of parenting & studying for a career in a few years, a really very busy time which seems to be the case for most in the 20s,30s,40s age bracket.
Often its only when we're older we can draw breath & reflect a bit.
in order to be old & wise, you must first be young & stupid. (I'm still working on that.)
