    Fortunately not so far, and my youngest is almost old enough to bathe alone. I will miss that time

      The “lasts”

      The last time you do something with your kids. You almost never realize it when it’s happening.

      I first realized it with taking my daughter trick-or-treating. It was Halloween, and I was tired and dreading it. I headed home, got myself psyched up to take her out, and then when I got there she said she was going out with friends instead.

      I realized that the previous time was the last time and I was never going to do that again. Despite being exhausted from work, I was heartbroken that I had not focused well enough the previous time. It felt like I had just wasted the opportunity.

      She’s almost 21 now, and I’m still talking about it. So, you know it hit hard.
