Homecoming
My youngest son went to spend a few days with his older sister and brother yesterday. This being March break, he really wanted to have a chance to be with them. His first time away from home without his parents. He was so excited to be heading out. He woke up very early on Wednesday morning. Ready for his big day.
But things did not go as planned. My wife went to pick him up earlier today. He is home now and not doing very well. He is in bed and running a fever. I’m sure that he will be okay but I am worried about him.
Children really do seize the moment. And when things like this happen, it seems a bit unfair. Hopefully he will be better tomorrow.
Let’s hope it is just the excitement and not the flu or worse. As a child I often got sick at special events, with Christmas being most noteworthy. Not fun at all, but it seemed attributable to nerves, not real illness….
