Love through a child eyes

How do you prepare your child for heartache? Is there really a way to do that? I’m not talking about the heartache that your teenager gets from a high school sweetheart, I’m talking about the heartache that my four year old is going to feel when her best friend has to leave to go back to her moms, thousands of miles away.

My little girl Tay has a huge heart and she never meets a stranger and just this last week when she met Jacie she found a little girl that she will have a very hard time living without. Sense the two of them have been together they share everything, they go to bed and wake up at the same time, they eat the same meals and play the same games. I love that the two of them are so close but it breaks my heart to think about the pain that they are both going to feel when they have to be separated from one another.

How can you make it easier for them?

Tay has many friends and cousins that she plays with all the time but with her and Jacie it is different these two little girls love each other so much that it hurts me to just think about what the two of them will have to go through.

How can you ease the pain that they feel and teach them that they will see each other again in the future even though it hurts right now?

      Hi Mandi

      I am so glad that the girls are so close it breaks my heart that I can not see the two of them together I know they are a joy.

      Maybe Josh can put a camera on the computer and they can talk everyday. I know that is not the same, as being together but it will give them something to look forward to each day.

      I think we see a friendship in the making that will last throughout their life.

    Got something to say?
