So obviously yesterday was a bad day, but today was a little better. I woke up not wanting to die, but feeling like my body was willing to give up at any moment. But somehow as soon as i got upstairs, things changed BIG TIME! The youngest girl in the family is really sick and vomited everywhere, she is crying her eyeballs out, and all she wants is her blankie. As soon as she sees me though it all changes, and that changes me. She wants love. Just me to hold her, and make her feel like that rumbling in her tummy was just the need for love talking.
So I sit with her, the crying stops and she just stares at me for about an hour. Happy that anyone gave her the time of day, and loved her. And in those awesome moments, I realized that she is the one person in the house who was in that moment loving me unconditionally. It didn't matter if I changed her diaper, and she had a rash that hurt while I was doing it the other day. What mattered to her was that I gave her the comfort that she needed for those few moments, and was willing to give up my morning coffee for it.
Honestly, she probably knows nothing about what coffee is for me, but she knows that moments like those are precious, and now, so do I.
Now it is on to think about things that I need to do for my hubby to be. He needs something special for all that he does for me, and I want to give it to him.
