The healing properties of children

[JMS]

One minute your ready to ring their bloody neck and the next they do something so sweet and cute that you wonder how you could ever be mad at them...they have curative powers you know.

Over the last year and a quarter and more particularly in the last 3 months life has been rough and down right painful for me and some how I have survived it. Cant say what the next year holds so I will be making no predictions on my chances of survival, I will however spare you the details. I will say this however, if it weren't for my children I don't know that I would've survived.
As an example of what kept me going, this morning before I am out of bed I hear a lot of clanking and whispers coming from the kitchen. I call to my children to find out whats going on. Sandra,5 , Matthew,7, and Joshua who is 9 years old come into the bedroom. "Whats going on" I ask. Joshua and Matthew say "Nothing Dad" while Sandra whispers in my ear "we're making breakfast for you". At this point Joshua becomes upset and tells Sandra that it was to be a surprise and she shouldn't have said anything. I tell Joshua, "Its okay, its a very nice thing you are doing". At this point Joshua and Matthew leave our bedroom but Sandra Stays back to tell me I should pretend to be surprised when breakfast is served so Joshua will feel better. She leaves the bedroom and a few seconds later I hear a loud whisper from Sandra to Joshua saying "It's okay Joshua. Daddy is going to pretend to be surprised for you"
Children...you got to love them

I am blessed!!
