Mornings with devotions with my wife, 1, 2 3... walks with the dog in Gods glorious world, 1, 2, 3... and then the plane takes off. Thank you for the musical reminder Bobby.

The analogy hits close to literal in my life: my husband plays trumps, my son drums, my daughter flute. I am the perpetual audience (and holder of stuff) and have sat through band concerts from 6th grade to college... it does get better.

I had not expected you to say that in the family the children are the drum section - so often society teaches the parent sets that pace - but the longer I dug into my parenting memories, I saw what you meant. You can want to take Disney World at adult pace but you’ll always end up on the 5 yr old’s schedule.

In fact it sheds some light on why “empty nest” has presented my husband and I with a lot of disorientation, struggles for setting new routines... our two “drummers have moved on and we’re experimenting with setting a new pace.
