As time goes by, sometimes we find that the time family members are together is less

Today I have a good afternoon with my family. The whole family went to the park and watched the beautiful sunflowers. It has been a long time since my family and I have had the opportunity to go out together, live busy with worries that the time for the whole family to have such occasions is really very little .Do we get older and the children grow up less and less together

It seems that you had a really wonderful day. Here the weather is cold and rainy. My sister took her children for a walk in the woods last Sunday. It was muddy she said. I think with Corona Virus being around we see family and friends less.

As time goes by, indeed, it seems like there's less time to spend with family.
Sometimes, the reasons are geographical, e.g. your parents are in one state / country, and you and your wife are in another location.
Sometimes, you get too caught up in work that you almost (or do) forget to meet up with them and spend enough quality time with them.
And there are many other reasons, but it's important to ask yourself the question, "How can I spend more time with them?"
You do need to consciously make an effort to spend as much quality time with your family, because as time passes, people grow older and more susceptible to the illnesses and stresses of Life; they won't always be around forever.
I recently lost my Grandma last month, although her Alzheimer's robbed her of most of her memories and mental faculties. And my parents are in their 60s, too, so I sometimes get a bit scared as to whether or not they'll be around long enough to see me achieve success in Life. But I do my best, anyway.
And so should everyone else. Value your family, because, despite their faults in some cases, they're the only link to you that you've got.

Good to know you had a good time with your family. I haven't spent time with mine due to COVID unfortunately
