'Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.
He spotted her across a crowded restaurant. Her long dark hair and big brown eyes were hypnotizing. He couldn't help but stare at her. She had a smile that lit up the room and she saw him watching her every move as she swayed and twirled around her table. She got up to try her luck at the quarter "toy grab" machine but walked away sad and empty-handed. Was she 5, maybe 6? He didn't know and it didn't matter, she was older and she was beautiful. As she was leaving, their eyes met....he knew at that moment, he was in love. She lingered outside the door. In desperation, he leapt from his chair and followed her. When he opened the door and saw her standing there, he was paralyzed by her beauty. He tried to say "hello"....to somehow find the courage to speak but he was silent. He stood at the doorway and watched at she was buckled into her booster chair and driven off into the night, never to be seen again. Sad and dejected, wondering if maybe it was the diaper that came between them, he returned to his table and ordered a double-shot of chocolate milk wondering if they'd ever cross paths again.
Yes, this was the scene at dinner last night. While it was the cutest thing that I've ever seen, I must admit that deep down inside, I felt his little heart break as we stood at the door and watched her leave. Our precious little 2-year old, our budding Casanova, in a span of 30 minutes, fell head-over-heels-hook-line-and-sinker for this little girl. Now, Adam can be quite the love-em-and-leave-em little flirt but this time it was different. After a few sympathetic, "Aww, that's so sweet!" and "Look, he's really sad that she's gone, aww!" comments from the hostess and two waitresses, I realized at that moment that I'm going to be an absolute wreck when my kids start dating! As a parent, naturally, you want to shield your kids from heartache, rejection, bullying, etc and if I wouldn't have been, most likely, arrested for doing so, I would have chased that little girl's car down and made them stop so Adam could say "hello" and gaze upon her sweet face one last time. No wonder your kids want nothing to do with you when they're teenagers. : )
