Sometimes I let my patience issues turn into crankiness.
Sometimes I worry so much about work issues that I push her aside more times than I should.
Sometimes I allow the control freak in me to make things harder than they really should be.
But when my girl really needs me, nothing will keep me from giving her everything I possibly can. Having such a sick little one is difficult. It's tiring, emotionally draining, and stressful. Amelia had a better day yesterday, but she's still refusing almost all food. Her spunk and humor are not quite there, and I can tell she just wants quiet time with me. We watched a lot of TV together yesterday. Not the most educational of days, but it made her happy. And I found some peace in a slower day where my priority was crystal clear.
I love this girl with all my heart. And I'll strive every single day to make sure she knows it.
