I now have 3 grandchildren who are the loves of my life. and they too are growing quickly. But the love has multiplied for all of them. It is sometimes agonizing to watch them make mistakes, and sometimes I have to keep my mouth shut, which isn't easy. But I cherish each moment and love each stage of their lives. I nope this helps you as you deal with these feelings. I cry as I write this for you and knowing how painful the journey is. Hang in there. it's worth the ride.

Thank you for the kind reply.
I really do cherish each moment. I think my problem may be when the moment is over and I want to relive it over and over again, no matter if it was 10 minutes ago or 4 years ago. I cannot shake it. I don't know how to deal with it and it really hurts my heart. I seriously have been crying for a week straight, from when I wake up until I can finally go to sleep, and I am crying as I type.
