Bode, Cute and Scary

Having a kid is great, seems like it just gets better and better, but I do get to see the flip side of that being a Pediatrician. I get to see children who've gotten sick and then get sicker and sicker in a slow spiral towards death, I've seen it rip families in half...actually that's the norm, it's not a few of the weaker families...most families I see with a child that is chronically or fatally ill ends up destroyed...not only that but each parent is in their own personal hell and it's hard to imagine how they get out of it. I love my son, but a part of me can't help but look at him in fear sometimes. Sometimes I'm really scared of how attached I am to him.  I know I'm attached to many other people and things in this world, but I never have gotten to see what removing those things does to a person, but I've seen what removing a child does to a parent and in that way my son sometimes scares me.
