Just Thinking

So, what do you do when someone you have counted on to support you in something doesn't come through? What do you do when that situation involves more than just yourself? How do you explain to someone that they don't mean as much to that person anymore? How do you help the hurt to go away?

I have learned over the last three years that blood really is thicker than water. It's very hard to understand it for a seven year old. How do you explain to them that people who have meant the world to her no longer find her as important. No one worry. It's not myself or Mike. We're all fine. But you know, I even struggle with how people can change their commitment level to you to whatever suits them at that time, or for whatever crisis is going on at the moment that they can "shine" in. I know that that sounds really critical, but it's the truth.

I realize people let you down and situations change, but how do you explain that to a young child, who still has that innocence and gives and expects unconditional love. It gets very tiring covering for those people in her life. I know that at some point she'll have to face those situations, but I can't really imagine that it really has to be at seven.

I'm very frustrated and honestly ticked. But as I've learned to say this too shall pass.

I pray that Sherrianne's sweet spirit will someday make a difference in their lives that will help put things back into a right priority.

Thanks for listening!
