Today when I dropped Kristen off at school her heart was terribly broken. Here's why. She went up to her friend, Finn and told him that she had brought her baby (Logan) today and she wanted him to come and see. Well Finn, being a boy, wasn't really interested and said something that deeply hurt little Kristen' s heart. I am not sure what he said, but it got her good enough to send her into an outburst of tears.
My heart was broken right along with hers. I comforted her, held her tight and let her know that Finn didn't mean to hurt her feelings, he was super busy playing a game and maybe he didn't even know what she was talking about. Who knows, maybe he thought it was a doll baby, not the real deal. I left her at school, and before I walked out I gave her a big hug and said, "Keep your head high, and smile a lot." (These words were spoken to me many, many times by my mom) Kristen smiled and sat down with some other friends.
I was so proud of Kristen and the way that she picked herself up and went on with her day. I was moved by her deep love for Logan and it was so apparent that she was proud to be his BIG sister. I was even more moved when tonight we were praying and Kristen prayed specifically for Finn and that he would be a little nicer to her. Obviously Finn is a special friend to Kristen.
