I think everyone that has kids wants to save their kids from upset in their lives. I guess it just isn't possible. Mason had one of the hardest days in his profession yesterday. I know it is something that he is going to have to learn to deal with but I don't think it makes it easier. Boy did I want to make it better but I could do nothing but be there to listen to him. I hope I was of some comfort to him. I guess a mother's job is never done. Even if they have moved out and started lives of their own, you still can be Mom when they need it. Boy is it hard to realize that we can't give our kids everything that they need all of the time and that they have to somehow muddle through and find the strength themselves.
Their little boo boo's turn into real life problems.
It is hard as a mother to listen to the problems we know we can't fix.
