Tonight it was movie night with my three year old boy and we watched monsters inc. at the end when sully walks in and says boo and smiles my boy just cried out loud. My heart broke for the little man. He said that he was sad because sully doesn't see boo. So I explained to him that he does and that even though we can't see boo, she says sully and that's why he is smiling. Rewind the end so he can hear it but again he cries again. Made me cry my eyes out too. I let him sleep next to me while I comforted him and I could see he slept with sadness in his eyes. I had no idea that was going to be the reaction from him but mostly I was taken back by his feelings, didn't know that I could love as hard as I do but realise that every pain he will feel, I will feel just as much.
Your bittersweet post made me tear up SG. Your little boy is blessed to have such an empathic, sensitive Mother. My 'kids' are all grown up (I have 4 and youngest is 28 and oldest 41) No matter how old they get I know I will always feel any pain and sorrow they have to endure just as though I were suffering it myself.
