Sickness

Tank must have something wrong with his immune system in the winter. All this winter and last winter he has caught every cold and cough that has come along. The poor little guy has had a high fever, painful cough, hurting eyes, and runny nose. He has been miserable. Last night I had him sleep in our room so I could keep an eye on him. He woke up many, many times from his fitfull sleep asking for a drink. I have become emotional several times in the last while and not because I'm tired. I've cried out of gratitude. What an honor to be able to comfort these special little ones. I'm so grateful Heavenly Father sent these precious children to me. It is a privilege to comfort them at night. Everyone has to go through childhood illnesses. I wouldn't want my kids to be cared for by anyone else. I'm so grateful Heavenly Father let me care for these amazing souls on such a personal, meaningful way. Attending to someone's basic needs, comforting them when they are weak, nourishing their soul and body are ways to show deep love. It brings about rich bonding and cherishing. I love my children so much! I am humbled to be their mother. They are so patient with me. I sense in a very real way they are my superiors and my teachers. I love them with all my heart.
