Loving mom

    You have high fever, around 104 degrees Fahrenheit. It is December and snow is falling outside. You are a lower middle class family so you don’t have heaters or other temperature controlling technology. Your mother has covered you in blankets and is sitting beside you. She has given you paracetamol but it’s not working. “Oh sweetie, just be brave and strong ok? I know you’ll be healthy again… those medicines have to work… I’ll take you to the doctor tomorrow honey… just push through the night, the hospitals have already been closed for the night,” your mom says, sitting beside your bed and giving you head pats.
