It’s not pretty. Never is. When I get sick, I get mega sick. Like sneezing, snotting, coughing, yucky, gross, sick.
What’s so funny is, that it’s not the piles of tissues in the middle of our pillows from me blowing my nose all night, or my complaining about bladder leakage because after having two kids it happens when you cough for 10 minutes straight. It’s not the weird cravings I get at the most odd times, the bags of cough drops, bottles of NyQuil, trips to the doctor, money for prescriptions, or even the wild crazy sick bed hair I get (like you can not even imagine what goes on with this hair O.o). None of this bothers my hubby…………..there is only one thing he hates when I get sick and it comes in a little bottle with a blue/green lid. My memaw used it as a cure all and I still use it when I get sick. Vicks Vapo Rub. If my dear sweet hubby was to ever leave me, it would be to get away from the smell of this stinky goo. He has actually taken to hiding it from me…………..but if I pout just enough, it magically appears back in the medicine cabinet and becomes my friend again as I try to get over being sick and back on the road to wellness.
He still loves me enough to smother me with kisses….while holding his nose, but hey, the point to it all, we may be so different when we are sick, but love makes you willing to handle anything for the one you love. Plus, taking care of the one you love while they are sick and grouchy, is the true way to step outside of yourself and let all your pride and selfish human nature go.
So next time your special someone is sick…….and smelly……..take a page from my hubby’s book and let them know they are still just as beautiful, just as special, and just as important, no matter what. Vicks vapo rub and all. 😉
