If I lay here

Yesterday I took the day off work. It was a planned day off for a “me” day.  Needless to say, it did not turn out as planned. I had been suffering from bad allergies over the last several days and when I woke up, it had went into my chest. I had terrible chest congestion and it felt like someone was sitting on my chest.

I was laying in bed when my daughter arrived home from school, She came into my room and laid in bed with me. She hasn’t done that in forever. She always gets concerned when I am not feeling well and always asks me if I will be okay. It is an amazing feeling when your child cares that much about you.  I reassured her I would be okay and while she laid there with me, I began thinking of how far we have come and wondering what the future has in store for us.
