Lesson #61
Hugs can heal
When dealing with a serious illness, it is easy to get bogged down in all of the details and to let fear take your emotions captive. The great thing about kids is that their innocence shields them from this fear.
Over the weekend we visited my mother-in-law. She has been struggling with leukemia on and off for almost six years. It was so great to have the kids around to offer a distraction from the seriousness of the issue. There is nothing like an impromptu hug or a kiss from a crazy two-year-old to bring tears to a screeching halt. These kids are the best reminder of why life is worth fighting for.
