I cannot believe...

As you know, I am the mother of two adorable children. They are the joy of my life and my whole world. When they are happy, I'm happy, if they are hurt, I am hurt. My oldest was hurt today by someone she should be able to trust. Someone she should look up to and respect. When I received the phone call, I was shocked; speechless. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. How could someone in that position do something like that. I called my mom, my mother in law, and a dear friend and nobody had an answer as to what I should do. I was angry and upset, and after discussing it with my husband and everyone else, I was even more upset. Why my little girl??? Then it dawned on me that I was more upset about it than she was. She was mad, and hurt physically, but emotionally she appeared fine. I think after a few days, she will forget that it ever happened and go on with her life as usual. Children are resilient, I just wish I was more like that. The story is not over though, I intend to make sure that this never happens again, to any child, especially mine. There will be a meeting in the morning! My hope for this situation is that this person realizes that she is in the wrong line of work and that she finds a position more suitable for her. My hope for Emily is that this is forgotten and that trust, respect and faith in others, remains. She's my trooper, she will be ok and so will I, after a good meeting and alot of prayer.
