Daddy's Broken Heart

Daddy wasn't feeling well last night so I decided to take some Tylenol Cold and Flu and go to bed early. I woke up several times during the night to hear from Beck how well Charlotte was doing in her crib... sleeping like an angel. Each time, I wanted to go see her but Beck wouldn't let me near her with my sneezes and coughs. She said you'll have to stay in the basement until you get better. Of course she was joking, but we both were serious about keeping Charlie safe, so I kept my distance last night and this morning. Today though, I went to the doctor and she told me I have a bad cold (which I would normally have just lived with) and that I should do everything I can to stay away from Charlie for at least 3 to 5 days and give the cold a chance to pass. I am devastated. So much so that I literally welled up with tears in the office when she told me. I just can't imagine not being able to hold my baby girl and kiss her soft little head. I am just crushed. I don't know how I'm going to make through the next few days.
