E is still sick but hopefully recovering. Thankfully it seems like whatever it is hasn’t passed on to the rest of us … knock on wood. It’s been a difficult few days. Fortunately lil guy is at the in-laws giving me one less thing to worry about.
I’m at home today, like usual, but E is here with me. We went out for a little to take care of some random errands. An hour or so later I received a message from a friend. She said her sister left a cooler of dinners outside my door. The cooler contained a couple fresh, ready to cook, meals and a few frozen “fresh” dinners.
Nearly 6 months later, with the pain so real yet just not quite as fresh, for someone, anyone, to go out of their way like this … means so much to me.
It’s hard to come up with the words to describe what she did.
I rarely ask for help. I’m set on getting through as much of this as I can. These last few days, with a sick lil one, have been very difficult. It’s one thing to have a sick child but another to be doing it on your own and living with this grief.
Nearly 6 months later. All those people who said … anything you need. All those people who appeared to care (of course some really do) … have gone back to their ‘regular’ lives. From all those people … there’s this one and the others who have went way above what is expected. For you, for all the others … thank you!
