Good job. I was too focused on my children completing the next milestone and didn’t appreciate those moments. Once I realized that it was too late. Fortunately I now have grandchildren and can savor those moments.
These reflections, for me, are probably an advantage of having kids late. I'm not sure I would have noticed as much when I was younger. I'm glad you can experience this with your grandchildren!
This really hit me — I have a 4-year-old son here in Kyoto, and I’m also constantly realizing that yesterday’s version of him is already gone. We’re making quiet memories together — walks, questions, little routines — and I’m trying to hold onto them while they last.

This is beautiful, James. jubilee is asleep on me on the plane right now. A rare moment. The last? I don’t know. This is great perspective.
Aww, that's so wonderful! Thank you! I hope the rest of your travels went well.
LOVED! Forwarding to my daughter.
Thank you!

Your words reminded me of that again. Thank you.
