The children were hospitalized again last week. The boys this time. They were in the hospital at night, Hubby was at sea and I was at home with Toddler N.
I looked into their empty room with its empty beds. I thought about my brave little men, alone except for each other. I couldn't enter that empty room.
I sobbed for hours. I wanted my boys safe at home.
I raced into the hospital the next day, running through the halls to get to their room.
My boys were sitting up in their beds, groggy from sleep but looking much better than the night before.
"Wook, Mommy!" I. said. "There's bunnies out the window!"
Sure enough, two black bunnies were hopping about.
I never expected their first night outside the family would be in hospital beds.
They are fully recovered, but I just keep waiting for the next illness to hit. What a winter.
