are actually pretty dang swell.

1. Your mom makes you “a nest” on the sofa.

2. She sleeps in the bed next to yours all through the night.

3. She makes sure you always have this near you.

4. When you use this bowl, she holds your hair back, rubs your back and tells you, “everything is going to be okay”.

5. When you can’t eat anything your dad goes out and buys a special drink for you.

6. Your once grubby cats, Lullaby and Rosey, get “a bath” in the washing machine and now smell like lavender and vanilla.

I hear tell that some people say a trial can be a blessing.

A gift.

A joy.

What would you say, Mills?

One thing is for sure, your mom and dad love you.

P.S. Is it not cool that a blog post can turn two really hard days into a happy memory? You never thought a bowl used for catching  throwing-up could be romantic, did ya? But right here on dawesome, it is, baby!

P.P.S. Mom, I wish I lived closer so that I could take care of you too. Get well soon, my momma-dukes! Enjoy them percoset while the doctor says they are legal…
