Leper-d

Cash came home from his visit with his dad in Aspen with hand, foot, and mouth disease. He looks like a leper. Seriously. Sores and spots and bumps all over his body, and particularly badly on his face. He looked pitiful when I picked him up, but I just thought he had a nasty cold. The next day I found out it was this virus. Apparently it is going around Aspen and there is nothing you can do about it except wait for it to get better. Poor little kid.

But I am SOOOOO glad he is home with me!! I am way happier than I have been in weeks. I just like his nearness, his sweet little presence. I like the soft pelt of his head, the point of his eyebrows, the place under his shoulder blades where his angel wings are hidden.
