Sounds like he knew where he might get the best care. Just love him and nurse him back to health, mom. They are all grown and on their own way too fast. Cherish the times you're needed now. Even if you get strep -- a small price to pay for the love and caring he will feel. It is small things like this that form a person's attitude about those around him -- and in turn will affect how he treats others too.
On the bright side, it seems like when I am nursing kids, I never get sick. It is like an inborn immunity. God says, someone has to stay healthy to nurse the others. Then when they are all recovered, watch out -- that's when I catch the next bug in town. But I have been known to get some of that pampering back when its my turn. |
