He looked back, with eyes searching.
He saw me. He smiled.
He saw his Dad. He smiled.
He searched the family, looking for one person.
He can't find them, they are not there.
He waits his turn, throws the ball.
Searches as he walks back.
The eyes start to fall.
The shoulders start to sink.
The game begins, and it goes down fast.
His heart is not in it.
His mind is not in it.
He hurts and I can't fix it.

so so sorry.
I'm sorry. The worst feeling is not being able to fix your child. And I bet that's what you're feeling right now. :-(
ugh. Nothing worse than seeing our kids hurting.
So very sorry.
xxoo
My heart aches for him too - I see it in my inlaws and how it has affected my husband's relationship with them. Maybe in some strange way, you are all being protected from something and don't know it yet...
Oh, this made my heart ache! He knows that you and his dad love him, but it's not always quite enough to a boy, is it? I'm sorry; I hope things get better!!
Why do you write things that make me want to use ski masks, rocks and bricks???
