On Sunday morning at work we had a Code Pink.  Code Pink is the same as Code Blue only the patient is 8 years old or younger.  This patient was under a month old.  He didn't make it.  The ER called me about a half-hour after I called the code and asked for the chaplain on call.  When I transferred him to the ER I could hear a woman in the background sobbing very hard.  I hung up and my body felt heavy all over.  My heart hurt.  I couldn't wait to get home.  I came home to a house full of kids.  My kids, neighbor kids, wonderful kids.  Blake greeted me with his usual, "MOMMMMMAAAAAAA!!" and he ran to me at the door and gave me a big hug.  Just like he always does.  I gave him a big kiss and a hug and kissed and hugged Emily. 
Do that for your kids today.  There are mommies and daddies who aren't able to tonight.
A blog about some of my random thoughts, complaints, and things I've noticed. I am a wife, mother, switchboard operator and general watcher of those around me.
