<p>One of my dearest friends is moving to the Ukraine this week and it has taken me by surprise.  Oh, I had advance warning.  It&#39;s just that I never thought the day would actually come.</p>

<p>When she told me that there was a a move in the works she was pregnant and The Boy was only weeks old.  Now her son just had his six-month shots.  I can&#39;t believe it&#39;s almost been a year.  It seemed like January would never come, and now it&#39;s here.  Just like that.</p>

<p>Isn&#39;t it strange how when you&#39;re a kid time goes by so slowly then the older you get, it flies by?  Seventh grade took f-o-r-e-v-e-r.  Now I&#39;m twenty-nine and I swear I was twenty-two just last weekend.</p>

<p>I wonder if as I get older time will eventually be flying by so fast that I will feel like an observer and not a participant?  I hope not.  Perish the thought!</p>

<p>For now, I have to book a trip to Kiev.  Maybe this summer.  It&#39;ll be here soon enough.</p>
