MY PRECIOUS

I was having some difficulty accepting the fact that not only Nikki is sick... But Niccolo has tonsillitis as well....frustration was setting in and I wasn't pleasant company for anyone....
So I went down alone...just because I needed to... Then I decided to cook something for my kids... So that they could eat before they took their meds.
After a while, my son followed to accompany me....
While cooking the food....my frustrations disappeared...
After I finished cooking....my wife went down to help me wash the dishes and clean the kitchen...
Then I went up to the waiting arms of my Lizzie, pleading me to read her a story....
Nikki asked me to hug her as she slept.
I sang old standards of Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin to lull them to sleep....
Everyone is asleep now....except for me....
Still not sleepy...
I look at them.... They are so precious to me, and I am so blessed to have them in my life...."Lord please watch over them always, listen to their prayers, and heal them of whatever ails them....please my Lord."

Good night my friends.
God bless you and everyone you hold dear.
