Her smile was gone, but not for long

I am sorry that i slept like a pig while you were sick. I only realised how bad it was when I saw it in your eyes. I tried to tease you and make fun of you, but you were too tired to play along with me. The infectious smile of yours was gone, I tried hard to make you smile, and this was when i realised how much it meant to me. The candle flame of my life was flickering, not shining as bright as always. I received a call from brother, he sounded real bad and had difficulty breathing. I had to send him to A&E immediately. The jam at CTE didn't help and the first nurse I met was moving in slow-mo. Am I in A&E or not?. Wished I could put up a siren and honk at every damn car that slowed down to watch the accident vehicles at the road shoulder. I would have gone nuts if I am an ambulance driver. Hours passed before I could leave bro and take you to the doctor.

The sight of you getting your first bite of the day, followed by your smile brought everything back to normal and this is when the teasing and taunting will start....

Lesson of the day: Be there for your family when they need you, as they will be the first to respond when you need them.
