Milestones in one's life must be acknowledged and recorded whether they are good or bad. At least they do if they are you're a first child, and in my case my first Grandchild.
Steve called Wednesday evening to report that Madison was sick with her first cold. Actually, this is her first bout with an illness of any kind. We have been extremely fortunate to have such a healthy baby, and I send thanks to our Lord for her and her good health every day.
She was running a 103 degree temperature, not eating anything much and was understandably fussy. They had called the doctor who gave them the proper medical advice, and basically was just "waiting it out".
Then he said something that surprised me. "Mom, do you remember when I was a little kid and you said to me that if you could take the pain away you would?"
"Yes," I replied feeling suddenly weepy.
"Well, now I know what you meant." He said it with such feeling and sincerity.
We'd come full circle.

Who wouldn't feel weepy after that. All things do come around. How sweet to know the things you said as a Mom were never forgotten!
