Brooke finally caught one of the many bugs her brothers have been circulating this school year. Missing school has been a traumatic experience for her. As she rests and tries to recover, I hope we can work with her (and our whole family) on understanding the things in life that truly matter. Our health and safety and happiness are always more important than checklists and duties and obligations. If we cannot put ourselves first, there won't be anyone to accomplish all those things anyway ;)
