I wish she did, I guess she wished so too. She had asked why I was there and even had a cure for it. I just kept hoping she would not bring up my illness. Right? It makes sense for a kid to want to have something wrong with the other. She asks me why I am there, and of course, playing doctor is no fun if there is nothing wrong with you. This may sound silly, possibly petty or even me just being plain sensitive. However, after we were done playing restaurant, she wanted to play doctor. Then we swap roles and I bring her fake food. We might play a game on the card table, where I can lay in the chair on the heating pad. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Naturally, she wants to play games and do things with me. I try to explain to her that I wish I felt like doing all the things she can, but having chronic fatigue syndrome leaves me very limited. In this day and age, I feel like sometimes everyone (including kids) are too busy looking at screens for entertainment instead of entertaining themselves. My sister is 10 years old, and we all try to encourage her to use her imagination and play.
