I cannot afford seeing her sad, or crying. I know she is a budding lady that has to face the world and its cruelty, and deceit, and bias. I know that. But I still cannot bear the thought that she's hurting.
Heavens... time is running really fast. She was just my little princess. It was like yesterday. Now, she is a little lady becoming a target of life's pointed shafts.
I am glad I am here for her. Though I feel hurt, too, but am I glad I am her ear even for just a while.
This is kind of unfair but I know it's not really worth spilling her tears over someone who doesn't know his ass from his elbow.
She's lucky to have you while mending a broken heart. I hope she'll be alright soon.
ReplyDeleteI can sympathize with a parent's feelings. Today's message in our church was about FEAR. I'm not really getting into the religious side of it, but it does help when your faith is strong.
ReplyDeleteAnother point is - if we had been strong oursleves and had gone through our own trials and tribulatins without anyone bailing us out, what makes us think that our children can't do it? If we fear that they can't, that's not really giving them enough credit and recognition. We should help whenever we can, but I believe it is going overboard if we take over their problem or fight for them. I know one mom who fought with her daughter's manager at her work when the daughter was suspended for a week unpaid for insubordination !
Her first heartbreak I presume?
ReplyDeletehope she'll be.. soon. thanks, ipanema.
ReplyDeleteshe will overcome it, bw. i dont know but i am sort of relieved somehow. it's not easy to be thinking about her being with the wrong person, and very young still.
that mom is over reacting naman, ha...
it is, single..
I'm not on this stage yet, but I can't imagine my daughter crying and brokenhearted. Just in case I'll stay by her side.
ReplyDeleteits hard to see the person you care about being hurt.
ReplyDeleteshe'll be okay coz she knows theres people who care about her.
hi, ann. i think to be at their side and with them in times like this will help them cope easily. no doubt you'll be a dependable mom if heartbreak ever crosses her path.
ReplyDeletereally hard, will. sabi nga, sana ako na lang yung nakakaramdam ng pain. but she'll be ok. nobody can tell nga that she is because of her ready smile. i asked lang about it. am so glad she opened up. so glad. :-)
hi bingskee. i feel for your daughter. while i haven't experienced heartbreak yet, i have experienced betrayal. i don't know which one is worse or if they're the same, but i was sure glad that my own mother was still alive when i went through that.
ReplyDeletenow, going through hardships in my adult life without my mother here, i feel scared most of the time. pero naiisip ko na lang that my mother raised me to be strong and she instilled in me to learn to trust God and to move on. Yun na lang ang naiisip ko as I try to live up to being my nanay's daughter. :)
i envy your daughter because she still has you. when she looks back at this particular episode in her life, you will be foremost in her memories. :)
heartbreak has many forms, mayo. it can be because of betrayal, or differences, or constant squabble over little things, etc.
ReplyDeleteam sorry to hear about your mom. and i hope Kay will cherish the moments we have. i feel that she is trying to be strong, too. wish that i could influence and show her to be strong through difficult times.
heartbreaks. while i've also been on the receiving end of them (at the hands of women), i can fairly say that yes, this world is unfortunately littered by men who are complete *sses. i feel sorry for your daughter, but at the same time i'm glad for her that she has a mom by her side. (as you might know, i don't have one :))
ReplyDeleteaaawww... mother-daughter moment!!! you both are so lucky to have each other esp. in times like this.. :)
ReplyDeletei am sorry to hear that, corsi hijo. there are men (boys) that can be complete *sses talaga. but in fairness, that guy 'was' good to her. differences had their way though.
ReplyDeletei am glad that i can be a mother to her during moments like this, dindin. :-)
Though we cannot stop pain to pierce our lovedones' hearts, we can atleast cry with them and console them the best we can. To show them as parent, like our parents did to us before-- that their loss was ours too.
ReplyDeleteShe's starting to experience LIFE in the real essence of the word. So you have to celebrate, instead of crying with her cause she's gonna be a REAL WOMAN soon just like YOU, congrats then :)
ReplyDeleteat times, rey, i try not to cry. but always wanting to let her feel that i am always there by her side.
ReplyDeleteyou're very right, melai. thanks to the idea of celebration. will tell her that. ;-)
She's so lucky to have a mother like you by her side...Not every young girl has this privilege...
ReplyDelete"... who doesn't know his ass from his elbow." Attagirl, Bing! With a mom like you, your little girl - even if somebody hurts her - will never be lost in this world. And don't you worry. Most of the time, we learn more and better from our mistakes.
ReplyDeleteShe's lucky that you are there by her side. I also dread the time when my children will experience the pangs of that first heartbreak and any rejection in life, although I know for sure that these are inevitable.
ReplyDeleteuh-oh, love-related hurt. in a situation like this, it's better to be more of a friend to her than a mother. i'm glad you're there for her.
ReplyDeletethanks, major tom. and btw, how are you? hope things will be very ok for you soon. :-)
ReplyDeletei know she's learning from her mistakes, bugs. i could never be wrong he he
hi, ms touchmenot. how we wish, as parents, to spare them from these inevitable hurts and pain. but they have to experience life, too, to be better individuals, di ba? btw, you have a very nice site. will visit again when ample time allows me. :-)
and am i so glad, slim!
lucky daughter. :)
ReplyDeleteohhh, i can relate! hehehe, i'm not close to my mom but when i cancelled my engagement, she's the first one i turned too.
ReplyDeletemothers knows best!
thanks, little light.
ReplyDeleteminsan, mmy-lei, ang inaakala ng maraming kabataan, kontrabida ang mga nanay he he. pero i know that not all mothers can really 'perform'.
I am just being fine Bing...We just have to accept life's incidences, as the Lord wills it.
ReplyDeletethough it is easier said than done, major tom. i hope and pray that you'll be very ok soon. the Lord provides. and in Him, we find peace.
