Well, another start to a week has come and gone....so so much to get done this week! Took time today to talk with "B". He has confided in me that he just feels "empty" and "angry" lately and it's apparent that as time goes on, so does the pain of dealing with being the kid that the STUFF happened to. I hurt for him and long for the day that this is all a distant memory.....LORD, I ask you to bring that day to him soon. To wipe his memory of any tiny thought he may have that somehow this was HIS fault. Fill his spirit again so that I can see him shine......I miss that. Our talk today was mostly ME talking and Brenton crying. He told me that NO-one likes him. He just feels alone. I reminded him of how happy his little world was BEFORE the trauma of the weeks of bully and assault. You see, these boys have stolen everything from my child. They stole his confidence, his hope, his peace. He was happy with his few close friends and cared very little about the opinion of others. He was a self proclaimed mamma's boy and proud of it. He found JOY in his art, in reading and loved to go to school....just to see his few good friends. In recent weeks, he's found no real joy in any of that.
I wonder how a child deals with the stress of life when they don't confide in their parents or they don't have a parent that wants to listen??? Tonight a song comes to mind........ You Are More by Tenth Avenue North. Take a listen and be reminded to listen to your loved ones...life is so busy and crazy for all of us, time flies by and in a flash we miss opportunities to support, nurture and love........
