I had a daughter late in life (at 48), and your story reminded me how fortuante I am to have experienced all the wonderful and magical things taht come with childhood.

Thank you for sharing such a wonderful story.

What a great reminder to all of us to remember to be childlike and “wonder”. What a great experience, and then experience it again through another’s eyes, to discover and then rediscover something for the first time, again. Thank you very much for sharing!

I too began to be reminded of moments I share with my colleagues and children. And also how I should be grateful for the many “first times” I’ve been given.

I live with university students, on purpose–they always keep my perspective fresh, and in that sense I never grow old, and am always enthusiatic!

My brother and I were just talking about this with our sons (both in their 30’s now)regarding our days in the woods with our father. This was so cool. We all need these “second first times” to bring us back to reality and our real purpose. Peace
