Heart break

Well.......it happened. Heather came bursting in the door last night and fell right into my arms sobbing. Her boyfriend broke up with her by text message.


Oh, how it brought back memories of my own heartaches. I was in 9th grade the first time some stupid boy broke my heart. His name started with a C and ended in -ody. I still remember sitting on my bed with my mom's arms around me, sobbing until my throat hurt. The was the first of many broken hearts. A stream of boyfriends and hopeless crushes plays in my mind. I was such a silly girl, I still am. Though those break ups were painful, they have shaped me into the person I am today. They are part of becoming a woman. And, I must say I can look back at those broken hearts ans smile about most of them. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

Heather will learn from this pain. She will grow into a woman. And what is up with this boy sending her a text message to deliver the bad news? What a chicken! I wonder what this generation is learning about communication and relationships when they do 90% of their communication on Facebook and text messages?!?! Maybe I am just too old to get it.
