Compassion and marshmallows

Hi!
Yep, in bed on my left side. My body likes this position and almost no other. I'm in the guest room at my mom and dad's house for the holiday, so at least it's new scenery even if it's the same position!

These are the moments..... My little girl just brought me marshmallows (because she knows I love anything sugar based😁). They are making hot chocolate to drink by the fire outside. She, my little boy, my husband and my

parents are all sitting around the fire laughing and loving each other and being together. I can't get out of bed. I tried of course, but it's just not going to work. My husband and I went for lunch with friends today and a long lunch in a restaurant was awesome and needed, but it completely destroyed any ability I may have had to do anything else today but lie here.

But here is my 7 year old daughter coming in to make sure I'm ok and telling me all about what they're doing. She says she's going to bring me hot chocolate too and if I want she said she will stay in here and drink hot chocolate with me instead of outside. I told her I wanted her to enjoy this time with her grandparents so she did, but not before bringing me more marshmallows.

My constant overwhelming worry as a mother is always how is this all going to affect my kids as they grow up? I feel like tonight I don't need to worry so much about that. I may be sad that I can't physically join them outside, but man am I proud of that compassionate and generous little blonde girl I'm lucky enough to call my daughter.
