Those 4 Days

Last Friday Jared came home from work with the worst ear infection.  He was so ill up until the following Tuesday.  I don't know why I was so surprised by this, but those four days of him laying in bed sleeping were some of the loneliest.  I never realized how much he makes me feel needed, loved, normal, and sane.  I know what it is like to be so sick that thinking is excrutiating so I kept the door shut and the kids away from him the whole time.  It was hard to do that solo from morning until night, but it seemed harder to not have his presence.  Emmie was starting to get a little nervous about it.  We all need him.

Poor Jared....he is better now.  Trials stink, but they make you strong, aware of your ability, and help you to appreciate even more, what you have.
