Blessed Are The Children

Nothing is more scary, humbling, or pitiful than a sick child. Geof has a cold and I gave it to him. DAMN GERMS!!! I tried my best to keep my hands washed and to not love on him too much...which was not easy to do! He was so pitiful last night. He is usually such an active little thing but last night he fell asleep in my lap which he never does anymore. He slept most of the night which surprised me. I don't see how parents with perpetually ill children handle it. My heart breaks everytime I hear Geof sniffle. I guess it's all a part of loving a child and being a parent. He's been trying all morning to act normal but he keeps finding his way to his Mommy's lap to enjoy a book and cuddle time....and I don't mind a bit!
