Life …
When you are a new parent and holding that sweet, beautiful child for the first time, that's all there is … and that's a good thing, a wonderful thing. But you are not prepared for the many small heartbreaks that come later: the hurt feelings, the pulling away, the arguments, the first time leaving home, and now, witnessing my beautiful daughter's heartbreak. I want to protect her from everything, just like I did when she was a baby, and I know that I can't, and furthermore, that I shouldn't. All I can do is all we really have the power to do ever, which is to love her.

Oh, crapola. Yeah, I think that has got to be one of the hardest things to watch. I wish her swift healing of the heart.
You said it. It's one of those situations where you have no control, but you wish you did.
Oh Suzy. I know just how you feel - we are ALWAYS parents, aren't we. I'm sending healing thoughts your way and hers.
Its hard to watch that first heartbreak. I remember mine.. It was so hard.. Love her till here is nothing left.. Happy Holidays...
