But when my kids get sick, my whole world just falls apart. It's hard to focus on my work knowing that my kids need me at home.
The last time that Greggy was sick, I needed to go to work because I had to submit a report. With a heavy heart, I left the house in tears. It's a good thing my husband was able to take a day off and look after him in my absence.
But his presence wasn't enough to appease the guilt creeping over me. I just had to be there.
Because I was the mother.
And my presence was indispensable.
The things is, I can be replaced by anyone at work. But nobody can replace me as a mother to my two wonderful children.
Since then, I made a decision to be there for my kids whenever they need me for whatever reason -- be it a skin allergy or eczema, colds, asthma attacks, anything!
I will be there for them. No matter what.
My job is important too. But it's not as important as my children.
