my heart is breaking for him

I think becoming a mother has made me so much more sensitive to the pain of others around me, especially when it is my child who is hurting. Andrew broke his wrist tonight. He was horsing around and it was an accident, but even knowing that doesn't make it any better. He has two "bubble' fractures on either side of his right wrist and we have to make an appointment for him to get a cast for it. Poor guy is in so much pain and I am sitting here crying right alongside with him. My, what a pair we make. You know the saying about mothers? That they let their heart walk around outside their bodies. It is so true. I wish I could just hug him and hold him and make all the pain go away for him, but I can't. He can no longer participate in swimming lessons or play soccer or even write out his own homework. My heart is breaking for him. These next few weeks are going to be a tough struggle for him. Please say a prayer for my little boy tonight. He's going to need all the help he can get.
