Recovered
After a bout of sore throat, followed by cough, followed by flu (it’s funny how my sore throat almost always progresses on to a cough and then flu), I’m almost fully recovered, yay!
The hardest part about being sick? Not being able to hug and play with Elena! I don’t mind the sniffles, I don’t mind coughing my lungs out, and I don’t mind not being able to eat alot of things…but it’s absolute misery to see Elena smile at me yet not being able to carry her and hug her close (I know there’s something grammatically wrong with this sentence yet I can’t figure out what’s wrong…).
Finally, I’m on the mend and tonight, I finally could play with her, lie down on the bed with her and let her run her fingers over my face, carry her and rock her to sleep. Gosh, I could feel my heart melting as she wrapped her arm around my neck, lay her head down on my shoulder and went to sleep. It felt SO GOOD that I carried her for a few more minutes before reluctantly putting her down on her cot.
My darling darling girl, I love you so!!
