Unexpected happiness

I am sick.....miserably, without relief,,,sick. I got sick at the beginning of a very long weekend that did not give me the opportunity to rest, or heal. I worked the whole weekend, through the sore throat, the pink eye, the chills that turned to sweats......I worked. My husband was upset that I didn't call off, but I couldn't. My job doesn't allow for that. He and the kids came up and brought me soup, had lunch with me while I suffered through my day. It was a nice moment in the middle of misery.
Everybody, of course, asked me what medicine I was taking....and to that I had the joy of reminding them my new baby I am growing doesn't allow me to take any medicine, but to enjoy the full cold symptoms in all their glory. My son brought the biggest smile to my face when I was leaving for work Sunday morning, when he walked up to me, gave me a kiss bye, then put both his hands on my belly. He put his mouth very close to my tummy and told the baby "Now you take care of mommy. She is sick, and has to go to work, so I need you to make sure she gets better, Okay? and we will miss you too". He then kissed my belly, and told me to have a good day. My five year old son. He has the most amazing heart I have ever had the joy of knowing.
