Healing Hands
When I recently saw the dermatologist, she decided to spray some nitro-something on the spots on my hands. To say it burned is an under-statement!
I was reacting to it as calmly as I could, but my 4 year old still noticed. "Mommy, are you okay?" I replied that I was, but that it did hurt.
As the doctor continued, Annaleigh looked at me, came around the table, and said, "Here Mommy, I will help you be brave." And at that, she put her hands on my back and left them there until the doctor was done.
Did it help? YES! There is something healing about touch, and I think more-so when it is the touch from your very own child. It was precious--a bit early in our relationship for the role-reversal thing, but nonetheless, there it was! She placed her healing hands on me, and for that, I am touched and so grateful!
