I am so proud of my husband. My stepson was ill over a weekend, and the holiday. It is so difficult to have him out of sight and not feeling well. As a parent, you want to be able to give him medicine, take him to a doctor if he needs it, tuck him in warm blankets. And when you can’t be the one with him….just another knife in the heart.

He was starting to get a bug but was well enough to come to our house, got the worst of it with us. Passing him back and forth is so hard. He usually does so well going between houses, but when he’s not feeling good he gets so clinging to his dad. He was back again for the holiday and still a little sick so we were able to see him again and continue to give him medicine. Seeing him again so soon made my husband feel better.

But I am so proud of the way he communicated with the mother! Normally, they do not talk much. Most communication goes through email between me and her. They are pleasant to each when they do interact, but its very minimal. Because stepson was ill there were quite a few more phone calls than usual between them. And he handled them so well! He was kind, patient, and even friendly! I am so proud of him!
