Oh my dear sweet boy... You went to see your first real at-a-theater-show today. We went to see the Lion King! You absolutely LOVED 1/3 of it. You loved seeing all the animals and you loved watching the drummers drumming... I don't know that anything could have prepared us for how hard the hard parts were going to be for you. We ALSO couldn't have readied ourselves for how hard it being hard for you was going to be for ME. You just have the biggest heart...and life can be really really hard. Sadly, the bigger your heart, the harder the hard is. Luckily, the inverse is also true...your capacity for taking in good is tremendous...and we're going to work super hard to make sure that we help support you through the hard stuff. God, I just never want to let anything bad ever go anywhere near you. My heart broke a trillion times for my inability to shield you. Lordy...
We went to G&G's house after the show...You had mixed reviews...despite your repeatedly telling everyone that you didn't like the show. You also asked me to show Grandmom and Grandmapa the video of all of the animals you saw. Oooh, honey, I'm so sorry that death and hurt exist. I feel personally responsible... I'm not even exaggerating.
