Not Enough Time

Everyone raising a family or working or just getting through life knows the crunch of not enough time.

With living far from family and old friends we've grown a whole new appreciation of "not enough time."

Trying to see everyone we want to see on our rare weekends in Lafayette is next to impossible. Not enough time.

We missed seeing the precocious Miss Haylee and her family this weekend. Haylee is the Bubble Fairie pictured on the right hand side of my blog. And she's amazing in a whole lot of ways other than just being The Bubble Fairie.

Haylee is lightning in a bottle. Energy.

Haylee became Kevin's best buddy last fall while he recouperated from surgery and began chemotherapy. She was the perfect mix of cuddle buddy and down to earth, call it like she sees it, three year old common sense.

I know he misses hearing "Daddy Kevin, your purse is bee-you-tee-ful! I love it!" when he comes home with the infusion pump. She brought a lot of laughter to those moments when he was really feeling down.

We'll remedy this on our next visit. Haylee and family will be at the top of our list. For this weekend, though, we felt that age old pinch of not enough time.
