OK...so when your kids get older and don't "need" you as much, do you know what is one of the most rewarding things?...WHEN THEY NEED YOU again. My son is feeling pretty "yucky" right now and all he wanted to do at lunch today is sit on my lap and have me hold him. Then we made it home and I tucked him into bed and it felt so sweet and tender. Unfortunately, his neediness (ie illness) and my NEEDINESS for someone to need me aren't 100% aligned...I wouldn't wish illness on anyone...but I have to say it feels good to be needed in whatever way I can...is that backward thinking? I'm thinking I have some thought work to do on feeling needed. I'mjustsaying.
