My daughter quit her pacifier 3 days ago. Since then it takes her significantly longer to fall alseep at night. I could have been doing a thousand things tonight from 9 to 10 PM, but I just laid there next to her, reassuring her that I was there and that it would be all right.
It reminded me of this NYT opinion piece from a while ago.

… and that sentence from Camus, stating that time was essentially quantitative and that’s why a life ending too early was always scandalous because nothing, absolutely nothing can make up for time not lived. I have yet to retrieve the exact quotation, though.
