kids become the caregivers. the nursemaids. and they are so brave... children with only one parent have to be so brave when that one parent is too sick to move much. Make meals for each other, do the laundry, make Mommy tea and bring her tissues and put cold compresses on her head. Both of my kids showed their true colors this past week when I caught the bug that has been lurking at our doorstep (and in our preschool room) for months. And they were so good, and kind, and caring and compassionate. And maybe just a little bit afraid. And thank-you Mom, for coming over to help with bedtime, to cook dinner for my kids and to feed the dog and do the dishes. For bringing juice and soup. I appreciate it more than you will ever know. Thank-you!
