Heartbreak....

I have had heartbreak before when I had a fight with a dear friend and we didn't speak for weeks.  I have had heartbreak when I didn't get a job or grade I worked for.  I have had heartbreak during a rough breakup from a guy.

Although so many of those things were significant at the time, nothing is capable of making my heart hurt more than when my little man looks up at me with his sick and watery eyes and his red and dripping nose and his sniffly and coughing cry.  I know he doesn't feel good and I can't do anything about it.  I can't explain to him why he feels so yucky and that he will feel better before he knows it.  I can only cuddle with him and let him rest his head on my shoulder and sing him a lullaby and rock him and hope that for a few minutes he won't think about how bad he feels and hope that he feels a little bit better tomorrow...
