" I spent a lot of time picking the images I put here, giving special emphasis to the amount of clouds, etc, so I hope you'd think twice the next time you look at the cover photo :D"
Oh I truly didn't notice that, thank you for pointing that out, and showing the ground because he is feeling down, defeated and weakened is a great technique! I'll be more focused and aware of the cover photo from now on.
"What were your experiences when you're recovering from a disease when you were a child? How do you take care of your own child when he/she has an ailment?"
My Grandma and Aunts are all well versed in taking care of sick kids so I can say I was fairly comfortable and well catered to, if not "spoiled" during these times of malady and incapacitation. Flus truly are a wretched thing to experience though.
When Harmony or Marcello is sick, my heart breaks and feels a deep pain. I and my wife look up the symptoms, take them to the doctor, get them checked, but if it's too late, we just stay by their side, hydrate them, keep them cool on their foreheads, warm around their bodies, get them fresh air, lots of fluids, encourage deep sleep, massaging and cuddling, and lots of love and prayer.
Oh, man, I've heard this quite a bit. Makes me think that I should've included this in the intro. Oh well, I guess it's kind of a call to action to revisit the earlier installments as well.
I'm glad that you had a smooth experience growing up. Living in a house full of doctors, I guess I could say we had a similar experience. Lucky us!
I could only imagine how hard it must be for parents to look and care for their sick children. I'm really making a conscious effort of preparing myself mentally and emotionally for when I have kids of my own. I'm sure you and your wife do a pretty good job handling it. I wouldn't be surprised if Harmony and Marcello mention that "my dad and mom are all well versed in taking care of us when we were sick" when they grow up and recount their childhood :D Thanks for sharing that story, bro!
