Great news, just in time for Christmas! I wonder sometimes who suffers the most for their illness, them or us. If someone is really sick, I don't sleep well and won't eat much myself. I am always listening for sounds of distress. It is always to see them back on their feet and behaving normally. Then I can relax and enjoy myself.
