Wishing I could make it better

I was so excited today because Ricki had made it through a full day of school. We know it is not an easy thing for her and are so proud of her determination to keep going.  After school before I even made it out of the car she was at the front door waiting. We got in the house and discussed her day. It had not been an easy day for several reasons..she still was not feeling well, her head had been hurting  all day, and her new medicine is really affecting her memory making her classes very stressful. She just wanted a hug. She looks into my eyes with her sad and longing eyes that say "please make it better" ....and my heart feels like it is going to break because there seems to be nothing I can do but give her another hug and hold her tight. She fell asleep early this evening and we are hoping a good nights rest will hopefully  "make it a little better"
