In Sickness and In Health

Matthew has been sick, with what seemed very flu-like yesterday (including a 102.8 fever). He's better today.

Yesterday Tessa just could not keep her voice down while Matthew was trying to rest. At one point he fell asleep for a couple of hours, and stumbled out to the living room at about 6:45 in the evening. Tessa was drawing something on the floor, and she yelled really loudly when she saw him. He got very upset, since his head was pounding already, and I got mad at her for being so loud. "I'm sorry," she sniffled, "I was just so excited to see Matthew."

Later he dazedly went to bed again, and he ended up sleeping most of the night. Tessa left a card, which she had apparently been making for him when she yelled so loudly, in his doorway. I pointed it out to him this morning after she left for school. It had a big happy face on the cover, with a cheery "GET WELL SOON!"

Inside it read:

Dear Matthew,

I hope you get well soon.
Your (sic) a great brother.

Love,
Tessa (written in cursive)


She's loud, but she's sweet as pie :).
