1. thoughtfulness - Ok so last week I posted that we were 'recovering' from 'the worst cold ever'! Well I lied....we were not recovering, oh-no! I think I just said that to psych myself better and say good riddance to being sick. No it hung around and morphed into something far more hideous that included aching ears, razor blades in the throat and my poor boy got an ear infection during the week! booo hoo to us! A friend called, just as I had pulled up smack bang in the middle of Struggle Town and said to me 'Oh my.... I can't believe you're all still sick....I'm cooking soup today, so i'll drop you around some'
**sigh**
2. Bloggy friends -No really you guys are all full of awesomeness. Whilst being cooped up inside sick and with sick kids it was nice to know that I could log on and have inspirational moments of sanity. Just reading what you folks were up to meant I didn't feel so isolated. You were like my mothers group, a warm hug, a cozy blanket, a great conversation and a cup of herbal tea all at once.
3. Lovely sibling moments.... caring for each other, comforting one another and in general, just showing their love for one another (sometimes)!

Hi Brenda! Lucky you for having such great, caring friends. Being sick is hard enough but with sick children too, it's the worst. I am so glad winter is over (fingers crossed anyway!)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your very kind comments on my blog! It's nice to 'meet' a new bloggy friend! Love your site! Danielle x
What a great friend you have there....It is amazing how much we value the simple things when we are sick...There is nothing quite like the generosity of good food, is there!

It's not much fun when the whole house is sick. Your friend sounds awesome! I'd love to have one of those next time I'm sick. I Hope you are feeling better soon.
ReplyDeleteI feel for you, I got the sore ears and razor blades in the throat and achy all over this week, oh also had the chills too - it was AWFUL.
ReplyDeleteSo I hope you are all finally on the mend now.
Lucky you for soup wielding friends!
We really can't survive without others sometimes can we? What a top friend, not just one meal but 3!! The photo of your kids is just adorable!! This sunshine is doing wonders for the soul and I hope it is healing your family too!
