The Nth This Year

This is my nth time to be sick this year. But it is much worse this time, because poor little bebe is sick too. I can tell she really feels discomfort because she is not her usual lively self. Now I miss her singing, dancing, prancing, calling out for me. Now, she's just mostly sleeping.

Earlier this day I was able to take care of her and carry and comfort her. Now however, my cold is worsening, and now I cannot even soothe my sick baby. I can only look at her lovingly from afar, for fear that she will feel even worse if she catches my "virus" too.

For now, she is still sleeping, and I just keep on praying she'll get well really soon. It's ok if I get sick, but not her. I want her to be alright always.
