I'll be alright...it just hurts.....

I'm going out on a limb here and sharing a little sadness. Not pain really, but a sad side to my life. I got Sarah ready for bed tonight. She did really well trying to get her PJs on herself. Its was nice to work on things together....then I asked for a kiss and instead got a head-butt which split my lip and left me bleeding profusely. She didn't mean to do it, really. She just doesn't have control over her body like we do and doesn't always even understand what she's doing. But she knew she hurt me and seemed to feel bed. She was blowing me kisses from her bed as I exited her room. Sandor sent ice up with Andrew, but when Andrew saw me crying and the bloody washcloth he was surprised and said, "You're bleeding!" To which I replied, "I'll be alright, it just hurts." He left and I cried harder realizing...it hurts on multiple levels. Physically and emotionally. But truly, I'll be alright.....it just hurts. And, thankfully, I've learned the hurting doesn't last forever.
