Does your heart ever ache for your children? I think every mother would have to answer yes. Tonight Bryce was disappointed in the way he played in his game. One of the boys made a rude comment to him, and he was in tears on the drive home. 10 years old, barely, and beginning that “wonderful” stage of life where approval by peers seems so important (does that ever really go away?). I’m inexperienced at this parenting thing, Bryce is my oldest, and as he goes through something for the first time, it’s the first time for all of us! I can tell you one thing I know for sure, watching your child hurt is HARD! I guess we will take it one day at a time, him learning how to grow up, and me learning how to be mama to a boy who's figuring out how to grow up… And, Bryce, if you ever find yourself reading this, please know that I LOVE YOU for you, just the way God made you… you are an amazing person already.
