Tears of pain and Tears of love

This morning before school Brock tells me he won't be home for dinner again tonight, or tomorrow night, or Friday night. Great, I say, see you on Valentines Day! He says, I'm sorry babe, are you gonna have a meltdown? I say it's quite likely. So he scoops me up and runs down the hall with me and as I scream, "don't bang me into anything!", WHAM!! my elbow smashes into our bedroom door frame.
I howl in pain and the boys come running up the stairs to see what happened. I bury my face in the pillows so they wont see me crying. Jake makes a quick assessment that I'm fine and leaves. Parker climbs into bed next to me and kisses my elbow and grabs Brocks tablet on the side table and says, Mom I'll play you a song to make you feel better.....he turns on Bruno Mars "Just the Way You Are"
Tears Tears Tears Tears. My freaking elbow is killing me and my sweet sweet baby loves his mama.
