i wish

Tuesday, May 26, 2009

feetThe holiday weekend was not quite a holiday – my daughter seemed to get a little better, but it looks as though we are still not out of the woods.  We are armed with antibotics, lots of juice boxes, and Backyardigans DVD’s (if I watch one more episode, I might go crazy!) for Gabrielle.

When I was a little girl, I remember never wanting to grow up because I didn’t know who would take of me like my mom when I was sick.  The simple thought of it really scared me!  I never imagined that I would be providing the same love and comfort for my own daughter, exactly the same as my own mother.

I wish I could take all her pain away.  I wish I could take the illness and bottle it up and throw it far, far away.

I completely understand. You provide that love and comfort. This too shall pass. Prayers sent up for a firm recovery. Sending positive vibes and love your way.

i remember when my children were sick, i would say to them after hours of watching videos, let’s change. i would quickly bathe or shower them and give them clean pyjamas. still to this day my daughter talks about how she does the same thing for herself if she is sick. even changing the sheets. feel better little one.

You are obviously a born-to-be-mother. She’ll be well soon. I remember when my mother died how I longed for her love and caring the first time I became ill afterwards. I wanted her, more than anything on this earth. She was the ultimate caregiver. I believer that you are your daughter’s ultimate caregiver too.

Hoping your daughter feels better very soon. There is nothing like a mother’s love… I don’t have kids, but I look back on the way my mom took care of me when I was feeling unwell. She’d make me rice & carrot soup and let me watch tv on the couch. Love!

Such a sweet photo and such loving, tender comments about your daughter. I hope all is well by now — I’m late viewing this post.
