Disappointment:(

This word holds a lot of meaning...we all have this in our lives and that is just part of it but, it is amazing how much it can hurt when it isn't even yours.

As the mom I wish I could fix everything that makes my kids sad. When they were little that job was a lot easier. Most things could be fixed with a kiss, hug, or a piece of candy:) Now that they are getting to be big people they are getting bigger problems and not so easy to smooth over. I don't think they realize how I feel every hurt or happiness they have.

This isn't about anything that is life changing (I think) but when you are a teenager it doesn't take much for you to think that it is. I know in his world this is huge and the disappoinment and sadness on his face kills me. In the end this will probably turn out better than if things had gone the way he wanted them too but from his point of view, right now it sucks.

I'm not quite sure how to break it to him that he has a lifetime of this ahead of him. No I'm not a compete pesimist but life is life and there are ups and downs. I guess I won't try to break it to him, I'll let him figure it out for himself. He wouldn't believe me anyway because of that teenager status of his, I know nothing. Give him a few more years and I will get smarter. I know this because it has already happened to a couple of the older ones. I may only be in the "might" know something stage of their life but I am getting closer to the "wow, she really did know what she was talking about" stage.

Things will get better for him, which in turn will make it better for the rest of us and life will continue to go on. I may not be able to make it better for him but I can still try to bribe him with candy:)
 I actually offered to buy him a pony but luckily he didn't take me up on that one.

That's all!
