I remember holding my sons when they were babies. They'd fall asleep with their head on my shoulder. I could feel their warm breath on my neck. It was the most wonderful thing I'd ever experienced.

Now, my oldest son is about to start high school in just over a month. It's hard to believe that much time has passed. I only have about four more years until he's off to college and a couple of years after that, my youngest son will be college bound.

Time goes by incredibly fast, so I'm trying to spend as much time with my sons as I can, while I can. I do some activities without them, but I'm happiest when they're around.

If your wife wasn't having an EA, then you wouldn't be here to ask that question.
