In Sickness and In Health

A stomach bug has hit our home, knocking three children and two parents down; leaving only the baby and the six year old standing.

As I squatted next to a toilet at midnight, holding back the hair of two little girls who were simultaneously puking into the same blessed porcelain bowl, I glanced over at my husband, who stood knee deep in bedding from the eight year old downstairs.

“In sickness and in health, right Babe?”  I called.

He grunted, but his half smile assured me he concurred.

    I’m not happy that most of you are sick, but I love how you wrote this because I could just see and hear your and David’s brief exchange. Love you guys. Hope you are all well soon.
