Heartache

There is nothing you can do to avoid it. It is going to happen, comes with the territory; you know teenagers, high school all that. You cannot prepare them nor can you make it better when it happens. Seeing my daughter go through the break up of a boy, a very nice boy, 1+ years, is just killing me. She doesn't talk about it, she didn't tell her friends, she is acting normal which leads me to believe one thing. That she is holding everything tucked inside of her like a nice little folded piece of paper. Then one night I got a text from her. All it said was "I miss him." That is all she needed to say, I know she is heart broken, hurt, rejected. I feel that pain for her, in the deepest part of my chest. All I can do is be there to text her back. "I know, it will get better."
