The girls and I have been sick, starting last Wednesday with a call from school that someone needed to pick Kinsley up from school because she was ill. Since then we have battled fevers, runny noses, coughs, and me with strep throat. I was just thinking this morning how one take's for granted that feeling of being well. Today is the first day since Thursday that I have felt 100% or at least as close as I usually feel to it, and what a relief it is. I am thankful that overall, except a few minor virus and ailments here and there my girls and I are all healthy.
I am also thankful for Adam, Brandi and Kenneth. Without the three of them, the past week would have been much worse. I am very lucky that both Adam and Kenneth are there for their daughters when they are sick, and there to spend time with their daughters when I am sick. Kenneth dropped what he was doing many times and took off from work several days to pick the girls up from school and take care of Kinsley while I was at work or sick, and asked quite often what he could do to help me. Adam too spent extra time with Juliana when I couldn't take care of her, brought me movies and mashed potatoes and even cleaned while I slept. And Brandi checked in on me routinely, asked often what she could do to help me, and occasionally made me laugh. I am very lucky to have all three of them, and fortunate to have such a great support system in times like these.
