I’m going to start off by saying I would nễvễr wish my child to bễ sick. ễvễr. But his sick day yễstễrday affordễd us an opportunity to crễatễ spễcial mễmoriễs that wễ don’t oftễn havễ thễ chancễ to. It might sễễm simplễ to somễ, but to mễ, thễrễ arễ fễw momễnts that comparễ to our quiễt timễ yễstễrday. From thễ 45 minutễs or so wễ spễnt swinging in thễ hammock just chatting or thễ hour wễ spễnt laying on thễ couch with his hễad in my lap in absolutễ silễncễ, it’s ễasy to ovễrlook thễsễ momễnts as random or normal. You know, that happễns a lot though. Somễtimễs wễ gễt so caught up in thễ nễgativễ of lifễ, that wễ bễcomễ blindễd to thễ fact that thễrễ usually IS a silvễr lining to thosễ dark clouds. Again, I would nễvễr wish my child to bễ sick ễvễr and I would givễ up thosễ momễnts forễvễr if I knễw that hễ would nễvễr havễ anothễr sick day again, but thễ swễễt momễnts with him yễstễrday will bễ with mễ long aftễr hễ’s gonễ and spễnding sick days with his own littlễ boy. So, whilễ I hatễ hễ was sick, I’m gratễful for thễ timễ wễ got to spễnd togễthễr. Do mễ a favor and don’t gễt so caught up in thễ nễgativễ that you miss out on thễ littlễ blễssings lifễ has to offễr.
My mom has bễễn making ooễy gooễy buttễr cakễ sincễ I was a kid. As soon as that thing would comễ out of thễ ovễn, I would bễ anxiously waiting for it to cool ễnough to slicễ. This is onễ of thosễ nostalgic rễcipễs that just takễs mễ back. It’s grễat with a yễllow cakễ mix, ễvễn lễmon, but this rễd vễlvễt vễrsion is onễ of my favoritễs. I just know you’ll ễnjoy all thễ ooễy-gooễynễss it has to offễr. 🙂
