In my last post I talked about how hard it was for my parents to leave on hospital trips. I know it is hard on everyone, so to make things a little easier I want to share some advice.
One moment in my life that sticks out to me was when my aunt had her second son. We were watching her first born and waiting for news. You must be wondering, what is so significant about that? Well, my uncle stopped by our house and wanted to talk to our cousin. He gave him his Ipad and said he had downloaded new games. My uncle's words were calm and quiet, he didn't want to leave. He hugged my cousin tightly and said he would be back soon with his new sibling.
There was nothing super special about what my uncle did, but it made such a big difference.
Parents: when you have to leave for the hospital or whatever else, hug your kids tightly. Give each of them a special message, a simple one. Just say I will be back soon, or I love you. Also, if you want, give them something that will keep their mind off the bigger picture. This could be new games on the I pad, a new DVD, or candy.
When going on a hospital trip, it is tough on everyone. Ease the ache for those you can.
