Another Magic Moment

I caught Benji's cold last week, so we were both sick, then both recovering together, and taking turns having coughing spells. I was holding him on my hip when I had one bout of coughing, after which he gently said "you 'kay, sweetie?" and started gently patting my back. I can't even express how strange, magic, and full of wonder that moment was. My sweet little boy, who I've always taken care of--for a moment, he was caring for me. He's a person. --Victoria
