Minor little heartbreak today

*Giant HUGE hugs* I know how it feels. I've had to miss a lot of my sons hockey due to other commitments and it's heartbreaking not to be there for the big stuff. I empathize a lot.
 
How awful. I hope you hear lots of great stories about it and that the person who gives out event information doesn't make that mistake anymore! :)
 
oh boo! I hate those little mommy heartbreaks that sneak up on us from time to time. I'm sure he understands, but that doesn't make it any easier to miss. Hugs to you, my friend
 
Thank you for the love, guys. I really did have a stinky day, LOL. But, I heard from another mom via FB (not from my son, mind you) that they won FIRST PLACE in the state competition (boys quartet). I'm so proud my heart is bursting, but even more sad I wasn't there. Anyway, I'm about to leave my adult-land for the day and they'll be back in a couple of hours for me to love on him :)

Thanks for letting me vent and for all of the support. This place rocks so much I can't stand it.
 
Congrats to them winning First Place! Big hugs, Jen. It's so hard when things like this happen out of our control when you are so looking forward to something. <3
 
oh I'm so sorry you had to miss this!! I hope he did well, even though you were unable to be there to support him <3

That's awesome!!! Congratulations to your son!! What an honor!! I'm really proud of his quartet!!!
 
Oh dear, I know you are so sad to miss this, especially finding out that they won, but I know you spent the day saying prayers for him and I'm sure he knows in his heart that you were! It still stinks that you missed it, but you are still an awesome mom!

I hope you have a great time tonight celebrating!
 
Huge hugs Jen. I completely understand and feel so bad for you. With my job I have had to miss most class parties when he was younger, and several all-school parent luncheons. It broke my heart not to be there. Hopefully someone will video the event and take pictures for you, and he'll get to tell you all about it when he gets home. I know, though, that it won't be the same. I'm so sorry.
 
I would love to tell you it gets better when they are older but it doesn't. I almost lost my mind last year when my (grown) daughter was in the hospital and I couldn't get there. Big hugs and congrats to the boys!!! My AllState choir memories are some of my best ever.
 
I just wanted to stop by again and say thank you. I had to take my baby to the doctor today unexpectedly, and I thought of you while we were there. I know today was rough for you. And congrats to him for winning 1st!
 
Of course they had to win since you couldn't be there. Yay and darnnit all rolled into one.

My kids always seems to score in soccer on the ONE game per year I can't make it. Lol. I always tell them not to do it since I can't be there and somehow that makes them do it. Stinkers.
 
Gosh, I can totally relate to the "don't want to be an adult" thing. It's so funny how we are dying to become an adult when we're little and then we have these days. Hugs to you!
 
It sounds like mommy should have a glass of wine to celebrate her boy's win, and that she adulted the entire day!

Thank you for this. Hope your little one is better and your sentiment makes me teary. Everyday has it's reason. We'll all stumble along together.
