Sunrise, sunset

Sunrise, sunset April 16, 2011
When I got married, my parents walked me up the aisle to the song Sunrise, Sunset from the movie Fiddler On The Roof. We selected the song as a way to honor my family’s heritage.

Since I’ve become a parent, I have not been able to listen to that song without becoming a weeping mess. Remembering my own parents is a part of it, but the bigger part of it is the way the lyrics capture the stunning speed with which time passes.

Jacob, age 24 (2011) creating something wonderful.
Swiftly fly the days.
