It has been a decade since I last chronicled the lives of my dearest Keiron and Kayla. These two, my precious gems, my inspirations and the loves of my life, have blossomed from young children into remarkable individuals. As I ponder the passage of time, I yearn to relive those lost years, to capture their essence in words. If only I could turn back the clock and preserve those precious memories.
Writing and I seem to have a fickle relationship. Life’s demands pull me in different directions, and this essential part of me is forgotten. It’s a shame that I let this blog fall by the wayside. But now, as I reconnect with it, a wave of nostalgia washes over me, stirring the memories of the past.
It's a bittersweet reflection to realize that I've neglected to journal our lives for the past eleven years. Countless important milestones have slipped through my fingers. The journey has been filled with twists and turns, both triumphs and setbacks, joy and sorrow, and the delicate dance of relationships.
Keiron, once a vibrant, outgoing boy, has retreated into a shell. The once-friendly little fellow is now a timid teenager, lost in his own digital world. His days outside school revolve around his phone, a solitary pursuit that has replaced the joy of human interaction. While I understand the allure of technology, it pains me to see my son isolated most of the time.
Yet, beneath this introverted façade, the sweet boy I know still exists. He still offers me the occasional hug and kiss, a precious reminder of the innocence he once possessed. How different from his sister, who has embraced adulthood with a certain detachment. The girl I once knew, eager for affection, is now a self-conscious young woman.
It's heart-breaking to witness these transformations. The children I once held in my arms are now navigating the complexities of adolescence and adulthood. As a parent, I can only hope that they find their way, even as I grapple with the bittersweet reality of change.
Kayla, on the other hand, remains the life of the party. Her social calendar is packed, and she’s constantly immersed in the company of friends. Her life is a whirlwind of social events, filled with endless group chats and meetings. This year alone, she’s already made multiple trips to Edinburgh for weddings, a testament to her expansive social circle.
Her involvement in YFC and SFC has undoubtedly shaped her into the outgoing, compassionate young woman she is today. These communities have not only provided her with a strong support system but have also deepened her faith. It’s heart-warming to see how her Catholic faith has flourished.
I could write volumes about these two extraordinary individuals. One blog post simply won’t suffice to capture their essence. I long to delve deeper into their lives, to share their passions, their struggles, and their triumphs. I want to explore their evolving faith, their unique personalities, and the intricate details of their daily lives.
Above all, I cherish them beyond measure. They are my heart and soul, my greatest treasures. I vow to love and support them unconditionally, always. As I sit here, penning these words, a sense of peace washes over me. The joy of writing has returned, and I’m eager to share more of our story with the world.
