Is it February? Are we still in Jan? Whatever!
My elder one is an introvert just like me . She has a gang of friends in school. They are odd in number . Everytime they have to sit in pair in class or in bus guess who get picked up last? Mine.
She is sort of this back up friend who gets to sit with her friend when the main one is absent .
Yesterday while checking my messages I saw her message asking one of her friends if she could sit with her . There was a polite response that the friend had already decided their pairs so sorry they couldn’t change and hurt the others. My kid’s reply “ it’s ok”
My heart broke into million pieces !
And I saw this message just after reaching office . I was anxious and wanted badly to go back home in the evening and check on her. No amount of stress at work could distract me.
Evening I asked her if she was okay. She shrugged and I knew that she was hurt. She told me that everytime she asks they would say that next time they will sit with her but they never do.
I blabbered some nonsense consolation and we left it at that.
24 hours later, reading 2000blogs later here I am still broken.
My brain knows that this is part of growing up
How do I tell my heart?
My heart has no brain to understand! Sigh!
