Today

I was thinking about you again today.

I just got over a terrible case of the flu and my head hurt so bad. I remember how when I was little, you would escape to your bedroom to lay down when you didn't feel good. You never wanted us to see you feeling bad.

I envy that strength you had.

My children know that when you have a headache, you take some Tylenol and lay on the couch with an ice pack on your head. Sometimes I wonder if that is a bad thing...

They worry so much when I am sick.

They worry so much when I am hurt.

You never let us worry about anything.

You always took care of it. You always took care of everything - except yourself.

You were the least selfish person I ever knew in my life. I get that from you a lot, I like to be last on my list of important things...

But boy, do I worry!!
