Would it bumm you out if I copied and pasted your post here and then passed it off as my own, with pictures of my own of course? LOL!!!!! Because it is seriously how I feel. Exactly. Took the workds right out of my feelings. I am also worried about the differences in "friendships" between my (our) generation and my daughters. I have to remind myself daily that I am not Emma, and Emma is not me. And that I handled frienships and socialized in a completely different manner in a completely different environment.

And pray...we can always pray. I get u and I heart u.

My youngest was the one moving. She switched schools every year until 3rd grade and longed for that kind of friendship, too. Now she's in 6th grade (at a new school again), and she just found out her best friend will be going to another school next year. She seems pretty okay with it, though! She has a lot of friends, but she's learned to rely on herself and her family since those are the only ones she can really count on.

Beautifully written, a concise description of modern times and our social isolation. Luckily children learn from the rough stuff, but it's hard to watch such a sweet child suffer. She's lucky to have such an understanding mommy and daddy and a home in which she can just be herself, sad or happy, and be loved for both. xoxox
