Sadness

There are things you naturally assume your children will never face; things you would never choose for them to deal with. I never expected to hear my children cry in ways that I have heard them cry--moaning and groaning because they can't even cry because they are so sad. Crying with sounds I never heard till they came from my own mouth so I know exactly how they feel. I never expected to see a look of pure sadness on my 3 yr old's face; yet I have. Not the sadness that comes from no ice cream or being told it is time to come inside but the sadness that cuts to your core. I wish I could take their pain away, but I can't.
