Today is the last Friday in January and the 27th day of 2017.
How did that happen so fast?
It certainly should give us perspective on how fast things can change. If you are still clueless about how quickly time moves just replay the last five minutes of the Dallas Cowboys season and you can see how fast life happens.

The Jetsons
Meet George Jetson.
His Boy Elroy.
Daughter Judy.
Jane his wife.

You saved and planned for the cost and now the day has come when it is time to walk back to the car and make the drive home after moving them into the beginning of their next step in life.
No, they will not be there magically as if it was a dream when you get home.
This begins a step towards their future life and it is time to let them go.
