Sick

A few things I have learned about sick over the past few months:

Sick is an uninvited guest

Sick always overstays its welcome

Sick usually brings along its friend Tired

Having Sick come when you have children is not easy

Sick causes guilt and creates blame

Sick can cause fights, and it usually isn't even Sick's fault

People use Sick as a scapegoat

Sick is inevitable

Sick is not prejudiced, it comes to us all

Sick brings out the worst in most

Sick knows how to mutate

Sick is unwelcome

If anyone has had Sick come to visit and has learned how to oust this leech visitor, we would love to know! Until then, Sick has taken up permanent residence in our basement and is unlikely to leave anytime soon .....
