Do you ever get the feeling that you need your Mama to come take care of you? Now don't get me wrong, I'm not bad sick. I'm just winy sick. Sometimes when I get sick I want someone to fix me hot tea or homemade soup and bring it to my bed. I want them to sit beside me while I go to sleep and stroke my hair. I want someone to sing softly to me about beautiful places or special times. I want to feel special, loved and important. Don't get me wrong. I know I am loved and my mother would come to my bedside if ever I really needed her care (even though she lives hours away) but when I'm just a little sick, I feel sorry for myself and I wish I could be that little girls again who was cuddled and cared for. But the feeling will pass when the coughing stops and then I will get up and get going again.
I guess maybe that is why when my daughters were little I would sit by their bedside, sing to them and stroke their hair. So that maybe when they were all grown up(like now)and they were feeling winy sick they could remember all that love they had stored up and be comforted in the knowledge that their mother will never stop loving them
even if they are hours away.
