When Your Child Showers You With Love

How do you feel?

It’s just like the moment when your husband (boyfriend at that time) first told you that he love you but somehow, it’s a little different.

Instead of a smile, I shed a tear, although both moments were equally memorable, equally touching, equally sweet, but somehow, being loved as a mother is different.

The story begins ……

I was down with a sore throat and a high fever. Usually I would wake up early to get the children ready for school and to send them to school. So, for several days, I told my maid to see to the children and my husband to send the kids to school. The two little ones were very cooperative and didn’t make a fuss out of it.

Studying in the afternoon session, usually, I had to tell Karl what to do to get himself ready for school as he never would remember or should I say he was never mindful. For those several days that I lied on bed, he did everything himself, without having me to nag or remind.

That made me very happy but that was not all.

One night, when my fever shot up to 39.7 degree, I took out a cold pack and put it on my forehead. Karl came into the room to check on me. He touched the cold pack. It was not cold anymore. He took it, put it back into the freezer, took another one out and put it on my head again.

That’s when I shed a tear. Never had I expected such act. All I asked was that they behave themselves so that I need not have to worry about them. Karl did something beyond that. He took care of me! Thank you so much, darling Karl!

Love will never fail. Love your children and let them love you in return!
