Look at Hanaa's hand. Tiny, eh? But they are a lot bigger and more developed than when I first held them 3 months ago. Time flies.
Am I a fool to ask for more, when I've already been given a girl? No, I am not asking for another baby... not just yet, anyway, but I am asking for time to slow down just a bit for me to catch it.
I go to work early in the morning and then I come home in time for dinner. A good 10 to 12 hours gone. In that time, Hanaa has already given her mommy ear splitting cries, laughter, conversation, singing, done her "business" and... grown. I have missed it. Day on day, I miss out.
If time was tangible, I would reach out and catch it, much the same as my wife here holds Baby's hand. I would reach for it to be a part of all I have and would miss.
