Yeah they do grow up too fast. Especially for me, because I missed several
years of my sons life when his mother refused to let me see him. The fight
over that dragged through the courts for years, then I had to move to
Santa Fe because I couldn't find work in Indiana and ended up with no
place to live, so that took a couple more years. I got custody of him a
few months after I returned to Indiana because the state committed my ex
to a mental hospital for a year, and he stayed living with me after she
got out. She had a new baby a year and a half ago and lost interest in my
son after all the years she fought to keep me out of his life, she chose
to walk away from him herself. He hasn't seen her in over a year! I still
feel bad because I missed out on so much.
