Cherry blossom season is so gorgeous but can be so fleeting. In the span of one week the trees bloom something magical, and in the next week, the petals shed gracefully. It’s often the way I feel about my children and their childhood; one day they are my sweet little baby, and the next day they blossom as mini grown ups with their little petals my only reminder of their adolescence. Cherish these moments parents; it’s beautiful and necessary but oh so bittersweet and fast!
