I am grateful for this quote by PRes. Monson to remind me to
cherish the moments I have with my children each day.
"If you have children who are grown and gone, in all likelihood you have occasionally felt pangs of loss and the recognition that you didn’t appreciate that time of life as much as you should have. Of course, there is no going back, but only forward. Rather than dwelling on the past, we should make the most of today, of the here and now, doing all we can to provide pleasant memories for the future. cherish the moments I have with my children each day.
If you are still in the process of raising children, be aware that the tiny fingerprints that show up on almost every newly cleaned surface, the toys scattered about the house, the piles and piles of laundry to be tackled will disappear all too soon and that you will—to your surprise—miss them profoundly.
...Let us relish life as we live it, find joy in the journey, and share our love with friends and family."click here for entire talk.

Thanks for the quote, it made my eyes misty. Here is one that is somewhat related:
"With one foot in the past and one in the future, you are pissing all over today."
