I always knew that I wanted to have children. I mean I really knew that that is why I was here. My dreams were fulfilled in 1981 with the birth of my son and then again in 1984 with the birth of my daughter.
Today that daughter now nearly 27 called me early this morning from her home in North Carolina and told me how sick she was, I mean probably should go to the hospital sick. I felt helpless. Her husband who would otherwise take wonderful care of her was out of state. Hearing your child describe how she feels she is going to pass out and you are so far out of reach and there is no one to call for her is very difficult.
That son nearly 30 and a Lt. in the United States Navy and serving in Bahrain just happened to be in the States for 2 weeks on business and was merely 2 hours away. That said son rents a car and drives to his sisters to take care of her for the weekend. Said mom feels so thankful. I feel warm inside visualizing him buying her popsicles and watching movies (which he loves to do) all weekend with her.
Need I say more about todays inspiring moment?
Every drop has a purpose

It is sooo hard being miles and hours away from your children and knowing your not able to be thee with them when they are so ill. Been there. It hurts deeply.
