the first heartbeack
Quinn suffered his first broken heart last friday.
he finished his lego play date with his birth friend. they have known each other since before they said hello to the world. they have celibrated birthdays together, spent time together sleeping and bonding. he was informed that his friend was moving across the country in a month. he looked up at me in the morning after he cried about it with his mom the night before for 30 minutes and slept on it and said "dad my heart hurts and i feel like i am going to cry again." then he told me he only had one friend left. even today he sounded sad because his other friend is in a different gym class now. to feel that pain radiating from someone else is tough even if it isn't someone you have an instint to protect. i still remember my childhood friend leaving when i was ten or so. an opening and burning like this opens things for growth and so i can be hopeful that he can learn and grow. vegas is a very transiant town and people are always in and out of your life. you learn to still care for people and trust them, but you always think they may leave. quinn will have many friends, but none will hurt like this. all i can do is love him and allow him to feel and deal with the strong emotions of loss.
here is where the spiral unwinds
here is where we realign
catch a glimpse of a great design
in this time you are a friend to me
here we have no enemy
may we never have to say goodbye
i know the path you choose for you
is not the path i chose for me
let us dance our dreams together
painted on life's tapestry
see all the posibilities
weave together laughter and the tears
our love will be the tie that bind us
in the time we leave behind us
these memories will be our souvenirs
play with me
let me play with you
let us play together on this common ground
one day love may bring us back around the fire again
