4 of 31 for the Slice of Life Challenge from Two Writing Teachers I home with a sick boy today. Is there anything than more heartbreaking for a parent than watching your child feel crummy? His poor eyes are glazed over, and he just wants to sit and cuddle with me, which is really saying something because he is 11! I always feel so helpless when they are sick. When my three kids were younger, I think it was easier to care for them when they didn't feel well. I could give them medicine and cuddle with them, Rocking them to sleep often worked wonders. Now that my kids are all teens/preteens, they refuse to take medicine (unless it is their idea) and are too big to cuddle with and rock to sleep. I feel that I can't really do anything to help them feel better, and they really are making their own choices about what they need. I hate to watch them suffer when they could do something about it, but I am no longer in control...ma...

Maggie is beautiful. I admit I clicked on this because my daughter is named Maggie. She hates that so many people name their dogs Maggie. She says when she gets a dog, she is naming it Elizabeth. Our dog is Charlie, which was the boy name we never used. Cute poem.
ReplyDeleteAwww..Maggie is very cute and looks like a great dog. I like the line, "How you love us so." It really shows the unconditional love our dogs give us.
