I am so sorry to read that you and your son have been under the weather. Hopefully the "bug" has come and gone and both of you are feeling much better today. I'm also glad that your MIL was nice enough to stop by and bring your son's homework and do a few other little things for you. At least she knew that both of you were sick and didn't carry on about things.

I'm so happy to read that your son is doing some chores and definitely give him kudos when he does them. They gobble up praise and will do even better and more jobs as they move along the path to adulthood.

Hope the both of you are feeling better soon!

Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to.
The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
