The roles are reversed

I've been fighting a nasty cough for the last two weeks and it doesn't seem to be getting any better.  But an interesting thing has been happening.  My children are the ones who are "mothering" me.  Seven of them are in the health care field (5 nurses, 1 doctor and 1 future dentist) and they have been so sweet and concerned.  Last night when I couldn't stop coughing, one of my sons sat with me, got me extra blankets and Gatorade, and just kept me company.  He put on a Disney animated movie and together we watched and laughed (and coughed) until the cough subsided.  I am so blessed! 

And, I've had enough of this cough.  I made an appointment to see the doctor today.
