Dear Daughter – Future Doctor or Humanitarian

Dear Daughter.
While this may have seemed like a typical week, filled with the usual run to make the bus so we don’t have to walk to school in the freezing cold and longer the usual homework time (what is it with show your work???), you were so sweet when I did not feel well on Wednesday. Your capacity to empathize with my tummy ache was just so cute and thoughtful.

While all I wanted to do was crawl up in my bed and sleep, you went all by yourself and got me some ginger ale to make my tummy feel better and then made me drink it.

Then when I just did not feel like getting up to change into my pjs, you insisted “you can’t go to bed in your clothes, you have to change,” and then went and pulled them out and helped me change, I just wanted to hug you but I was just too tired.

Then you turned off the lights, and we went to sleep.

Thank you for being such a thoughtful and caring daughter.

Love always, mommy

P.S. For the record, I am fine, I think I was just fighting off a cold which I think has passed (let’s hope, since I did not get the H1N1 shot.)
