Sick Days

Rose and I have been sick for the last day and a half. Cough, stuffy nose, headache, fever, sore throat, sensitive skin...no fun. But, it's been a very interesting experience...I feel closer to her. I am made for this, among so many other things, but this is my job, it is in my nature to be able to go nights without sleep and take care of my baby. I feel what she needs, I comfort her, I pour my love into her. This is motherhood, this is the most difficult, amazing, rewarding job in the whole world.
