Aaaaw that's so sweeeeeeet!! I don't think my first crush was anything near as nice as that It was with a boy I'd practically grown up with all my life - people thought we were wierd because we actively sought eachother's company instead of people of our own sex - odd for 10 year olds - but not that odd for two 10 year olds who are ultimately at loose ends everywhere else. He even asked me to a school dance once.... but I'd been grounded the night before!! We were both bullied something rotten because in this area, if you want to learn, you're seen as being some sort of social freak. He moved away when we hit 11 and I didn't see him again until we were 13 - though we did play hockey against eachother quite often. School competitions were great fun for that - and me having to play on the boy's team was an extra bonus. When we met again in High school, he did remember me, but most of all he remembered playing in goals for his new school's hockey team, and how I'd scored a goal against him from defence He was really mad about that one. But it was nice to meet up again and talk over the two years we'd not shared. I still see him from time to time - actually I think I see a lot of my ex boyfriends form time to time and I've always somehow managed to have really easy break-ups with them and we've all still stayed friends. (Apart from the last one, of course.) Which I think is nice to be able to say

Thanks for sharing your story, Emma. I bet it's somewhat of a comfort to know there's someone out there who'll be a friend for life.

Lacey, thanks again!

A short update on the little girl: she's home but still in re-hab. My son said that she came to the school for lunch a month or so ago. She's still in a wheelchair but is able to walk a few steps.

This is soooo Good Amie thanks for sharing the new chapter of this lovely thread! ...

Your story sends chills down my spine. My baby is 5 yrs old and it seems time goes by so fast. I don't want him to grow up! He's very compassionate and loving too and I pray eveyday that he stays that way.

Your son is very brave for his age. I know it was hard for him to let the little girl know what his feeling are. I love it!

I dread the first time a girl breaks his heart. Hope it never happens!

Catherine, is your son in kindergarten yet? It seems like just yesterday and also like 30 years ago that we were walking him in to school. Does that make sense? Like it's close by and also far away at the same time. Treasure your little guy while you can!

He will start kindergarten in August. (He'll be 5 in 3 weeks.) I know exactly what you're saying. It seems like yesterday we were bringing him home from the hospital. Why do they have to grow up sooooo fast? You know what I miss the most? When he would get so tired from playing, he'd crawl up on me and just pass out! Not anymore! BUT he's still very generous with his kisses and hugs!

Oh Amie, what a sweet story!

I can share the story of my first love - because he truly was. As most of you know I was going out with Trent, we were "dating" for just over a year. He was my best friend and I'll never forget him. We broke up for lots of reasons, but the main reason was because I liked somebody else and his name is David and on Monday we will have been together for two months!

Congratulations, Sam!

Thank you, Amie. David is such a nice boy he is in all my classes and he's really sweet.

I wish I was still close with Trent but he decided after I dumped him that he wasn't going to have anything to do with me! His lose.
