As most of you know, I was a pretty sick little kid. I has chronic kidney infections which lead me to the loss of my left kidney at age 6. Pretty painful stuff for a wee one. Unfortunately, I was old enough to remember a lot of it. Many times the antibiotics made my stomach sick and the fevers caused nightmares and general discomfort, not to mention the flank pain associated with this ailment. My parents ALWAYS tried so hard to help me through. My mother rocked me to sleep so many times wearing her cream sweater and tickled my back for hours. My father spent many nights next to my bed (home or hospital) watching over me and reading me stories in his special voices. He even created stories about a bunny and a puppy which were me absolute favorite. They must've been so tired but they always were there. I hope I can be half the parent my folks are. It makes me so sad to see my kids hurting. As for now I am going to savor every moment to hold my Children close and care for them when they are sad or sick. What a blessing they are! Time moves too fast and I don't want to miss any of it.
A giggle to end with:
Laine loves Ben and is sad he is hurting so what does she do when he cries?? She offers to nurse him of course. What a love!
