This was the sentence that my 15-year-pupil wrote in his latest English test. They had to use the verb "to raise" in a sentence and this is the sentence he wrote.
This sentence made me think. Would I write a sentence like this when 15? Probably yes. Would my DH write a sentence like this when 15?
The boy's sentence hurt.
I wish that all his dreams come true.
It just hurt to be reminded that my husband will remain childless because of me.
Hugs. I know. More hugs.

Ouch. That does hurt.
ReplyDeleteI know for sure that I would have written the same sentence when I was 15. Or 20. Or 30. Hubs probably would have too.
That makes me wonder what he is going through. I remember making statements like that when I was a teen because I never wanted my kids to feel the pain I was. Looking back, it wasn't even that bad, but it was a vulnerable point in my life and I needed my parents support.
ReplyDeleteAt that age I was only interested in books and what countries I was going to visit once I started working. The idea of kids didn’t appear until I was in my 20s.
ReplyDeleteWhatever the age though, for us, such a simple sentence still stings.
