Fear

Mikey hasn't been feeling well.  It started Friday night with a little sore throat.  Saturday morning a  little worse,  then yesterday, too sick for church--on Easter.

He couldn't go to bed last night.  He came in to say good night and hug us about 10 times.  Finally the last time I asked he what was wrong.  He said he would feel 'safer' sleeping in our room.  Our son is afraid of being sick.  I had to let him sleep in our room and reassure him that he would get better.  What an awful thing for an 11 year old to be afraid of dying every time he gets sick.

This morning he was still asleep when it was time to take Lucy to school.  We got all ready to leave and then I made a trip up the stairs.  I had to make sure he was breathing.

Fear is awful for me too.

I have a little fear that we gave Mikey a really bad cold - is that what it is? Mike and I have been sick since we came home and both have sinus infections - Get better Mikey, sorry! - so much for us being good houseguests.
