(That sounds heartless, but he's really not. I secretly think he has a fear as well....) If one hurt one of our children, however, it wouldn't last long. Daddy would come to the rescue.<br /><br />I'm glad your little girl is feeling better.Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02366577682743479072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2284213001055473722.post-6736209384252662102010-05-10T13:40:17.043-06:002010-05-10T13:40:17.043-06:00I'm with you on feeling relieved (although Ann...I'm with you on feeling relieved (although Annette's comment kind of altered that state). <br /><br />What I appreciate even more about this post is how you turned a semi-ordinary incident into something far more profound.

As an adult, she still has to carry an Epi-pen, just in case. Same thing happened to her mother.
