Sniffles and Runny Noses

Last night I was up with your little brother Ben.  2AM He and I sleeping on the living room couch.  He had finally conked out after the tylenol lowered his 101.5 temp.  And it hit me.  Who has been there for you when you were sick?  I started to cry wishing that your mommy could be there for you.  I pray that God has placed others in your life to care for you in the interim, to show you His love.  Someday it will be you and me fighting the cold together at 2AM.  Someday soon.  Until then, stay strong and brave and know the love of your Heavenly Father as you wait for the love of your earthly parents.
