Kaitlyn got sick right before the holiday, started out with coughing, headache, then high fever for two three days. We two took turn, day and night, to keep an eye on her. For a couple of days, she barely ate or drink anything, not even her favorite fruits, kept complaining her whole body aches. (She doesn't normally complain about headache, bruise, or anything. Sometime she even tries to hide it to show she's a big girl, but we see tears tumbling in her eyes.)
Needless to say, she looked even skiner! Luckily after she recovered, she started loving boiled eggs. She asked for it every morning, sometime even wants two! When she eats it, she keeps saying it’s so yummy, she loves it! Remember she used to only want egg white, and you still need to beg her to eat.
I'm sure all parents went through this worrisome, not once but many times. I remember on those days, when I sat next her watching her sleep, I was imaging she jumps off bed telling me she's well and has appetite now!
That's silly thinking :-) I remember when I got sick back in China, didn't feel that long ago, what I wanted the most was the noodle soup mom cooked for me! She cooked it very simple but so refreshing. I would feel recovered instantly! Remember dad used to joke about me saying I pretended being sick every time I wanted mom to cook that noodle soup for me! The recipe was simple - clear broth with light seasonings (but very tasty flavor), thin noodles, sliced of green leaf vegetables, sesame oil, etc. I tried to mimic the recipe, but never able to make it the same!
What I did this time is made some hand-made noodle from scratch for Kaitlyn, she actually liked a lot! But it's no where close to what mom's recipe. And it’s time consuming, I don’t anticipate do this often as all!
Childhood memory, inerasable memory, it sits there quietly forever, then one day, any day, the switch turns on, then you realize how much you're influenced by your childhood life.
I love you, mom and dad!
