Tender Moment During Incredible Discomfort

The medications I am on are wreaking havoc on my stomach. Unbelievable cramping and pain. Last night I was so miserable and then on top of that I was having horrible coughing fits. This coughing went on for close to 45 minutes. All the commotion woke my daughter who came into our room. She saw me all curled up in a fetal position on the bed, moaning and coughing, and said, "Mommy, are you okay." I told her that I was, but that I was just not feeling very well. She crawled up next to me on the bed, put her head on mine, and started patting my back saying, "Shh, it's okay mommy. You're okay. I love you mommy."
