The last time
Is it the last time?
“You never know the last time you pick up your kid” - Jay on Modern Family S11E141
A picture of young James
Here is a young me. Proudly holding one of my the stuffed animals from my childhood. This and a snowman stayed around with me I think all the way through college and maybe made it into my kids hands at some point. The bulls were big in the 90s, trust me.
Crayons at an estate sale
I bought a couple boxes of crayons for $1 at an estate stale and noticed a name. And I think about the above quote or some variation of it I’ve seen on the interwebs. So many things in life happen a ‘last’ time and in the moment we’re not always aware of that fact.
J.c. James, whats the moral here
Cherish the time you have. There will be more firsts, but there will also be lasts. And yes, even this project will have one last _post. Just don’t know when that’ll be right this minute.
Author’s Note
Not sure if there is an archivist in me, but it certainly can’t take photos.
Mostly an excuse to stick an old photo of me online.
