His Undying Love for Her

 His Undying Love for Her

The names of the people used in this story have been changed due to privacy. I wanted to share this story with you the reader because of the Purity and honesty that I see in this little boy’s life. This blog is about a TRUE story of a 11 year old boy who expressed his love to his girlfriend and as we will discover the outcome wasn’t has he anticipated.

My prayer is that as people read this they realize they too can learn from people no matter what age they may be. I hope you enjoy a day in my life as an Elementary School Teacher Assistant.

January 2010

One day as I was teaching one of the kids (Frankie) asked me … “Ms. Polanco, why don’t you sit down when you finish and let me give you some love advice?”  I told him … “Frankie, do I look like I need love advice?” :-)  He responds by saying … “Ms. Polanco, I love you and I want you to get a good man”.  I almost died laughing, because this is really coming from a 11 year old boy! So, I sat down and he starts telling me his story.

“Ms. Polanco, this is what happened between me and Lori. When me and Lori starting going out and just to put it out there… I really loved her, it was like a dream come true. We were still in 4^th grade and saw each other like everyday. I just wanted to be with her all the time and just hangout with her you know. So, anyways this is what happened. So, we were going out for a bit and she knew I loved her and she seemed like she loved my too. The reason I knew is because she told me like ALL the time, you know. Well, one day I decided to do something special for her to show her I was serious”.

So, as Frankie is talking I’m thinking to myself …”How can a 11 year old boy be SO serious about a relationship?” :-)

“So with some of my cash money I brought her like 50 dollars worth of stuff like a necklace, basket, and finally a ring.” I’m like “really Frankie? A ring?” He says “Yes, Ms. Polanco a ring!” LOL   Plus I sang her a song…you know that song that says “How much I love you”…. (Yeah, I don’t know that song. LOL)  So, I remember real clearly that I wanted to talk her face to face so I told her after school around the neighborhood. I leave my house and she is standing with some other kids and I try to get her alone and she starts walking with me to the corner. I never brought the other stuff out with me because it was to heavy so I was just going to just give it to her after the ring. So, we start walking and I stop and I take her by the hand and I tell her that I loved her and that I had a ring for her. Ms. Polanco, she looked at me and told me… ‘Frankie, you are so sweet but I’m pretty much over it and I want to move on’. Ms. Polanco, I PRETTY much died right there. My world was destroyed. I mean I loved this girl so much.

I asked him … “Frankie, how long did it take you to get over her?”  He responses and says….”Ms. Polanco, when she dumped me I stayed in my room in the dark and listened to love songs for 2 weeks! Than she told me that I was too serious for her and had TOO MUCH love for her…I didn’t even know what the heck she was talking about. I was so over it after a while, I had to move on Ms. Polanco”.

 I looked at him and was liked “REALLY? WOW!” LOL .

I told Him that I was sorry for what happened ….. he said “ I really understand now why is left me and it was all good cuz that’s more fish in the sea!”

I’m laughing the WHOLE time. I asked him what was the lesson or the point he was trying to tell me ….  He says… “Ms. Polanco. The point is that…  you might break up with the one you love but there’s always another love around the corner that will love you back… it’s always best to move on and give your love to someone who will love you back”.  

I like this advice and children are truly God send.
