blogger mom

I have gotten my exercise today. I just had to get four eye drops into the eyes of a kicking and screaming almost three year old. Yep--pink eye of all things. I have spent half the day on the phone with Dr. Turek's office. Evan is coughing again and Trey has pink eye. Lord have mercy! Luckily, they gave me a prescription for eye drops and advice for Evan's cough without having to make another trip in to the office. Frustrating...but then I started thinking about the mom who lives two doors down. The mom who would give anything to wrestle her little boy to the ground in order to get eye drops in his eye. The mom who would gladly give him breathing treatments or take him back to the doctor. The mom who just wants her son back for Christmas this year. I missed Luis today. I can't imagine how much his mom misses him every day. I cried for Luis today, I know Joy still cries every day over the little boy she can't hold in her arms anymore. My mind replayed a hundred times over today the last time I saw him, standing in my living room with a basket of Christmas candy on Christmas Eve. Luis has been gone almost a year now.
