Time

Question; is time an enemy or an ally? 
I've hear the saying that time heals all wounds.
We also all bemoan the rapid passage of time as it seems to steal away the time we spend with family and friends, especially with our children.
So which is it?  My life is something of a wreck right now and I say to myself that it is just time and in time things will go back to normal.  However, for all our challenges, we are experiencing great happiness and exciting times with our kids. I hate for those things to pass to quickly. 
Rambling here but it was a question I was asking myself during the night last night. 

Time: A real conundrum!
