It amazing me what a Mom can actually do, even when she thinks she can't.
Over the weekend half of my family was hit by the stomach flu. What makes it worse is not only did I have it myself, but so did my husband. So, there was no help in sight. The day seemed to last forever.
Thinking about it after, it just amazes me what a parent can do. I really felt like I was dying, but I was still able to change diapers, make food for my other not-sick children, and still hold back the hair of my very sick three year old daughter, oh ya and help my husband. To be honest he did get it worse then all of us :(
When you become a parent something sub-conscience happens to you; your kids come first. I never had the thought in my head after having my first, I will help my kids puke before myself. No it just happens that way. There is no preparing and no understanding unless you are a parent yourself.
Take a second today and thank your parents for all they did for you. It doesn't matter how old you are now, I know they will appreciate a well yearned thanks.
