Where has time gone?

I was looking at my daughter today. Just looking. I had called her in to show her a program on the computer to help her with her math and she was reading outloud what the site was about. I could help but just stare at her for a moment.

She isn't perfect, but she's my daughter. She's already twelve and I wasn't even ready for her to be ten. She reading so well, when did this happen? It seems like she is growing so fast. She osn't perfect, I know that. She has her flaws, but so does everyone else. I wonder where all the time has gone. I feel like I have missed out on so much. Have I been around as much as I should have been? Am I around enough now? I don't want her growing up with the memories I missed out on.

I am starting to hate facebook. Everytime I open it I am reminded how much I still don't belong in the high school I was in. I wasn't a part of it then and I am not a part of it now. I didn't belong to a group of friends. I didn't have the chance. No one knew how hard it was to be me. I see so much of that in my daughter sometimes. She wants the friends, but has a hard time reaching out. Was that me too? I think back and wonder. We moved a lot when I was a kid. I never quiet felt like I fit in anywhere because we moved so much. I know of all these people, yet I know no one.

I am really beginning to hate facebook now. It is only throwing my social flaws in my face.
