Elisabeth complained yesterday afternoon of a sore throat. It didn't look bad, so I gave her a cough drop. But this morning she woke up with a fever of 103.1 so obviously something more is going on. And there is a part of me that wants to stomp my feet, cry, and say, "Again! Really?"
But I also logged on to my homeschool forum this morning only to discover a family there lost their only child in a car accident last night. He was 18, due to graduate this year. And so I am going to shut my mouth and hug Elisabeth a little tighter, praying for her to feel better but praying mostly for these parents that have a gaping hole in their family.
Amen.
