Kissing Boo Boo's

When you’re 5 years old a kiss on a scrape can be a miracle cure. It’s only a matter of time before kisses from mom no longer work, but can that miracle cure really come back in your adulthood? My answer is yes, and as a matter of fact it’s completely reversed. On my most painful days when the thought of having to stand up from sitting is cry worthy I feel a small sense of relief when Isabella offers to hold my hand and “help” me stand up, or help me walk down the hall. I can’t say whether I really feel better, or if I’m just humbled by how caring she is? Whatever the reason the pain seems to ease that little bit when she does this. I don’t feel the need to cry when she offers a hug to help me feel better. It’s quite incredible really, how one year I’m kissing her scraped knee and the next she’s taking care of me. I like to brag all the time how great I am as a parent and how Isabella is such a good kid, but she’s so much more than that.
