This morning I was laying on the floor in the hall. (Isn’t that what everyone does when they are sick?) My boys knew that I wasn’t feeling well and were being really good at leaving me alone to rest.
When I woke up from a short snooze, there, by my head, was my old Raggedy Ann doll. My mom made her for me when I was a little girl and she’s been added to the boys’ collection of stuffed animals.
Billy came and sat down by me just then and put his hand on my side. He just looked at me with his cute little face. I asked him if he’d brought me my doll and he told me that, no, it was Ricky who thought I needed it right then.
Then, still laying on the hallway floor, Billy sang me two songs to make me feel better … ABC’s and Silent Night. They were followed by a hug.
Dang, but these boys can be sweet.
