Kids grow up too fast.
Karen remembers when Nancy was a baby.She was probably the quietest baby she ever had.Karen misses those times.It’s only a matter of time until all of her kids have gone off to college and already started their careers.
Mike already has a girlfriend.Her name is Jane, if I remember correctly.She is so cute and quiet.Jane is also very polite.How did Mike end up with a girl like her?
Nancy had been with Jonathan for a few years.Karen always knew that they had attraction for each other.
It was pretty obvious.When her and Jonathan would babysit their baby brothers together, or when Lonnie would randomly drop Jonathan off at the Wheelers.
To be honest, Karen didn’t like Steve that much at first.Well, can you blame her?He was the school bad boy.She just didn’t want her daughter to fall into his ways.
Plus, after Will came back, to which she doesn’t know how, Nancy always looked uncomfortable with Steve.
With Jonathan, she is always comfortable.
Now, with Steve, she doesn’t mind him that much.He became a better man and gained a good relationship with Mike and his friends.
It’s almost time for Jonathan and Nancy to go off to college.It had only hit her that she daughter is almost 18.Almost an adult!
Before you know it, Holly will be off to college and her and Ted with be grandparents.
Nancy had already told her that she doesn’t want any kids.And she gets that.Even though it would be cute to have a little Nancy or Jonathan, she gets that she doesn’t want to go the same path as her.
Mike is 15.He is already in his last few years of school before he goes off to college.
Why do kids grow up so fast?
Karen just wish she could feel the moment holding her kids after they were just born again.
