Dear Pookah,

This week, you caught the flu.

We never did get that flu shot.

Of course, the mommy guilt consumed me….but it was never the right time or you had a cold or something was happening, and it was one of those many little important things that just didn’t get done.

When I picked you up from school, your head was hurting. And by the time I got you home and confirmed the fever, I knew what I was dealing with.

You slept in my office while I worked, and finally on the couch being watched over by your Grandma.

I knew you were really sick  because you willingly took a nap.

I hate to see my baby sick.

When your fever finally broke for good, the struggle became to keep you entertained so you could recover as fast as you could.

That meant entertainment.

That mean games of UNO,

Battles with Teenage Mutant  Ninja Turtles and Phineas and Ferb marathons.

But through it all,

there was that smile.

I’m so glad you are feeling better.

Love

Mama.
