Well, the signs were there but we wanted to give Ricky the benfit of the doubt. But Wednseday night, he broke my daughter's heart when he broke up with her. He was honest with her when he told her that she did everything 100% right and it was all him. The bottom line, he was and is not ready to make a commitment and hanging out with his "boys" is more important. I don't fault the kid, really. We really like him and are still planning to do stuff with his parents since they are our friends. It's just been very difficult for Grace and because she is piece of my heart on feet, it has been difficult for me and Mike.
But we knew that this might and probably WOULD happen sometime. And if our job is to teach our kids how to have successful relationships, we have to allow them to have them. Sometimes we learn most during the hard times. It's going to take a while fore her to recover. She has some moments when she seems strong and then there is the meltdown. I remember those days.
There is still no doubt in our hearts that God allowed this young man to enter our lives. Maybe it's not about Grace and Ricky at all. Maybe it is. Maybe there is a much bigger picture. I don't know. But for now, she is spending the night with some girlfriends to distract her self. I am sad for her.
Oh, by the way...Mike bought us a Wii with our tax return. More on that later.
