Today is Love Thursday and I am not feeling the love. Maybe it is because the weather is cold and yucky here. (The sun? What's that??) Maybe it is because Emma has been a little under the weather. Maybe it is because it is tax season and Mark is once again putting in an insane amount of hours. Whatever the reason, not feeling it.
However, though I am not feeling the love in any profound way, my kids can not keep one from feeling loved. Even in her not feeling so hot state, my baby girl is loving me. (Yes, I am aware that she is almost seven. She is still my baby girl.)
Yesterday, she finally told me that her head and throat were hurting a bit. I told her that she was supposed to tell me if anything was bothering her so we could keep an eye on it. Her response?
"I know. But I did not want you to worry about me mom."
I almost cried.
We try to protect the ones we love, don't we? Of course in return, we worry about those that we love. So while I may not have anything earth shattering to share today; any deep thoughts or something to meditate on, I am getting the love. My love lesson for the week?
Sometimes love means worrying when there is nothing to worry about and keeping quiet even when we are in pain to protect those we love.
