One of the things that makes me cry is seeing my kids in genuine pain. It's one thing if they fall with a bump that I know isn't serious, but this morning, Paco had to withstand about 4 minutes of having blood drawn.
It took two nurses and me to hold him steady (the boy is strong) and he didn't even start crying until 1 minute was past. Amazingly, he stopped as the needle was pulled out, but during the ordeal, he was really hurting...and I was tearing.
The boy was brave. I just felt bad for him.
But, sometimes as a parent you've got to do things that causes your kids a bit of pain.
That hurts as much.
