1. We are both old enough and wise enough to know not to try and push through this cold. We both trust each other enough to listen when the other one says, "Rest."
2. It's pretty awesome being the person that your daughter or son turns to when they're feeling si. I'm not sure exactly what combination of things I've done over the years but it's an amazing pretty awesome feeling and I should going to take it for granted.
3. I might not get ill. Sometimes when the others get taken out, it misses me. I had a sore throat like two weeks ago which didn't turn into anything so maybe that's as bad as it's going to get.
