Mommy

Remember when you used to sit up all night with a sick child? Not the kind of sick where the child would cry and scream and go rigid in your arms. I mean the kind of sick, where they didn't make noise, but they had a temp and they were listless. That is the kind of sick that really worries a parent (I'm trying to break myself from just saying mom when it comes to children, I know you dads worry too).

My 16 year old daughter is sick. She has asthma and last night and today she has really struggled with it. I haven't seen her this sick with it in a very long time. All day long she has sat on the couch, I have heard her labor for each breath, she let's tears fall from exhaustion.

The only thing she has asked for today...control of the t.v. ( I am so sick of "The Girls Next Door"; 'Rock of Love, Charm School"; "Snoop Dog Fatherhood"; and anything to do with "E! True Hollywood Story").

But, I have gladly watched each show because there was one other thing she asked for, her mommy.
