Broken Hearts......

No pictures with this post. I have been too busy helping to mend a broken heart. Thursday night Jordan came down the stairs a bit emotional. He confided in us that he and Kelli have decided to be friends. I think that she is feeling a lot of pressure to make some decisions about her life. Remember......she is a senior. She is tyring to decide between two schools and fill out tons of scholarship forms. Trying to decide what you want to do with your life is a very big deal with lots of stress involved. She told Jordan she was really confused right now and just wanted to take a break. He also said that she didn't want to make it really hard when she left for college.

He was very sad. And maybe a bit confused himself. He did lots of running and played a few video games. It was the first Saturday night we have had him home all night in awhile. I just gave lots of hugs and a good ear when he needed it. I also thought a bit of comfort food might help so planned a few of Jordan's favorites for him.

As this week has started I have discovered that they still talk everyday and that the plan is they will still go to prom together. He really wants her to be happy and if that means having her as a great friend then that is good.

Track practice started for him this week and also has practice for Spring baseball so he has plenty to keep him busy. This has been a growing experience and listening to him talk has made me realize that he isn't 6 anymore. Some of the things he has said this last few days has really demonstrated his blooming maturity.

So life will go on and we will see how the next few weeks goes.
