Came home to a calm house

We came home to a very calm house. The boys were playing on the Lego table, Sissy was in the sensory room and my buddy was finishing up dinner. I sat down on the couch. The room was spinning and I was very nauseous. I was waiting for the meds they gave me to kick in. I hear the boys greeting Joel. I hear them teasing him because he smells like meat. They always do when he gets home from work., until he takes a shower.

Then I hear Joel say go show Daddy.

I hear our oldest boy say Daddy I have a surprise for you.

I'm dizzy I don't feel good. But when your son says he has a surprise you suck it up and look to see what he's showing me.

He proudly shows me he's wearing his AFO'S.

Oh wow kiddo.

I don't like them he says.

I know but I'm so glad you are wearing them.

I did because of you.

Me

Yeah cause you hate the ER but you went. So I wanted to be like you.

Yep I'm crying

This amazing child of mine
