The phrase can't see the wood for the trees is most often used in a reflective situation framed by the word «I didn't, or «we couldn't», rather than «we can't» or «we don't», because it's generally only after we mess something up beyond repair that we realise we were focussing on a small and perhaps unimportant element of a
larger whole the entire time.
He know what I am doing
the whole entire time.»
This is for
the whole entire time while I am at work and late nights.
He screamed and kicked the back of the seat
the whole entire time.
I was pretty much laughing
the whole entire time!!!!!

the whole entire time.

the whole entire time!

that whole entire time was to be increasingly present to my husband Yumi, who was in a challenging health crisis.
