The Night

Night-time is a time when I lie down at my “post” (my bed) and anticipate the exciting experiences that await me. I smile as I consider the possibilities…Who will be sick tonight? Will some one throw up on me or simply wake up afraid? Will some one have a fever or a stuffy nose? How many minutes will I sleep before the first call? Will it be our cat who awakens me first? Beside my bed I see my special tool for sucking snot out of noses and a pile of tissues. I am ready for whatever comes my way. The night is such an exciting time – to think that I used to sleep through it.

In other words, two sick kiddos for over a week. They seem to be on the up-swing now.

I am so sorry!!
I do know that's why God planned parents to be young! Us old grandparents just couldn't do that anymore.....it's one of the reasons we can finally let go of our babies! (Otherwise we would want to rock them for another 10 years..at least!!) Love you all, Nanalena & Papa
