Children are the greatest joy that a person can have. They give you reason to smile even in the worst moments of life. They can make you laugh, curse, and cry all in the same afternoon.
One other thing that they absolutely love to do is to share every sickness they have with you and for some reason parents willingly put themselves in harm's way just to get one more hug or kiss from their child. Truthfully it is so worth it but when you are in the midst of the sickness you think what in the world were you thinking! I wouldn't change my mind at the moment of the hug or kiss though, even if I knew exactly how I would be feeling in a few hours. It's one of those things that is hard to explain, just like you know you would throw yourself in front of a moving vehicle to save them. I know, two totally different situations far apart from one another but yet so similar when the sickness makes you feel like your body has been run over several times!
Will I do it again? Oh yes, in a split second! Why, you ask? Because that one hug and/or kiss is the most special present a parent can get from a child and who would want to miss it! As the kids get older, the fewer I get so I try to cherish each and every one.
