Big heart, little heart, sad heart, sader heart!

I am sure the title made no sense, but my heart is just aching tonight as I write this. My daughter who is 4 1/2, and the half was earned only a couple of days ago, realized what divorce means. I am so sad for her, she cried and cried as she thought of her little friend who doesn't get tucked in by her daddy at night. She wanted me to call her right now and tell her we were praying for her, she wanted me to somehow fix it, and I couldn't. What do you say to that? How do you mend her heart and fix her friends parents all at the same time!?? All I could say was, just because her daddy didn't live with her doesn't mean he doesn't love her, and lets just pray that she feels her Heavenly Father's arms around her at night. Well that worked until she asked if her daddy had anyone living in his house cause he is lonely. Oh, the worries of a 4 1/2 year old!! So our night goes. Heart break is good, it shows we have a heart, it allows us to pray for others. But what is hard is when they look at you for answers and you don't have a good one, the other part that is hard is my daughter is learning that not everything in life is good, not everything has a perfect ending. Not everyone goes home to a Lucy doll and has plenty of toys to play with. Life is full of joys, but because she is my oldest, I wasn't prepared for her to have a hurt heart yet. I am sure it doesn't get much easier, but thank you Lord for holding my hand as I mother her, I can see so much of me in her. I can see it before it happens, It reminds me of another night we learned of homeless people. Oh wow, that was a blow to her! That night when we seen the man with the sign, we packed up blankets, pillows, food and needed to give it to the man. She went threw the whole list of people of who he could live with, and the cutest side of it was she was sure that her nomination of my sister was perfect. She said "cause she doesn't share her bed with anyone!" Well, I explained that night that some times the decisions we make in life maybe aren't the best and if we are mean to our family we will no longer have them to fall back on, and that might be what happened to that man, Well my mom counseling sessions end here. I have to say how proud I am to be Mariana's Mommy, I am sure this is the beginning to allot of heart ache, her being sad, and me being sadder!!
