my little girl.

This is how it has been at our house the last few days.

We have all taken turns laying on the couch feeling miserable. 

It has been, well, Miserable!

This little girl has had a fever and a cough that she just can not shake. 

However, despite not feeling well, she has been so sweet to me. While I have not been feeling well, she has not left my side. While I was laying on the couch, she would sit by my feet, quietly just watching the movie I had put on for them to watch. 

When I decided to sleep on the couch, because I thought it would be easier that way, she slept down stairs with me. 

When I got sick in the middle of the night, she rolled over, half awake and said, "you ok mama?". I told her I was and she said, "don't do that again, that not good". I told her I would try. Then she rolled back over and drifted right back off to sleep. 

Sometimes when you are sick, it is hard to remember to be thankful for those sharp elbows and hard knees that seem to know just where to poke. But moments like that help me to remember why I need to be thankful for them. Briea has been so sweet to me while I have been sick. She has kept watch over me and tried to be as helpful as an almost three year old can be. 

I love all of my children very much.

Today I just wanted to acknowledge Breia's sweetness and her tender little heart.
