Time is Relative

Isn't it interesting how our feelings about time change with the event? For example:
  • It's been almost 10 years since my younger older brother, his family and I drove to Alberta in a weekend to celebrate my older brother's 40th birthday - it feels like a long time
  • I've been employed at the same company for 11 years -sometimes it feels like a long time, sometimes it feels like it went fast
  • My dad passed away 13 years ago - it feels like a life time, way too long
  • My step son just turned twelve - time flies, seems like he was just a little kid yesterday
  • Jp and I have been together for 10 years - it feels just right (really!)
  • We've lived in this house for 12 years - time flies, I never expected to stay here that long
Kids definitely grow up too fast, dogs are only puppies for a few short months, the passing of a loved one can feel like a long time even if it's only been a short time.

What events do you feel happened 'only yesterday' or 'seem like it was forever ago'?
