Love and Compassion

We have had quite a weekend with Joe having continuous pain on his left foot and there was not much that either myself nor our son Adrien, could do to ease the discomfort. We could only pray and help to the best that we can.

Today, after a few days of pain, we went to the doctors. It was a family affair. The past month has just been a series of illness, from food poisoning, to the flu, nausea on Joe's part as well and now his foot. The one that got hit the most is Joe. My husband has not gotten a break from these attacks. Did I mention that our cats had fleas! That was not fun trying to rid the home from fleas.  We need a break!  

Foot in a splint! Someone is not too pleased with this.

Nevertheless, our son learned from this visit. He got to watch a nurse draw blood and the area they extracted it from and all about  X-rays and taking care of himself and eating well. We simply do not know when our body will fall apart. Today, we got to watch out 6 year old show his compassion and love for his Papa. 

He helped his Papa by holding his hand while walking and carrying little things for him.  He was showing us a side we have not seen. He assisted his papa with his his sandals and much much more. For that I am thankful. 

My 2 boys! I love them to pieces!

  It is very important for us to impart to our children the importance of caring and helping family or friends when they are in need. It is about the needs of others and there comes a time where we must drop everything else in the name of love, and help our love ones and even a stranger in need. The reward they get from it is feeling happy that they helped.  It is not about monetary gains but about compassion and love. 


Today was a day my son made me proud. When it matters, he was there, my 6 year old boy.
