Kool Aid

Heather and I were getting Malry ready for bed tonight and I decided to get him something to drink.  Malry has been tube fed since he was nine so he doesn't drink much by mouth.  We give him water by mouth but tonight I decided to give him Kool Aid.  We give it to hime with a small syringe a little at the time to keep him from getting choked. When I gave hime the first little bit it startled him.  The next bit he swallow with enthusiasm and smilled at me like it was nectar of the gods.  I'm not sure I have ever tasted something that made me that happy.  He was so impressed with it that he opened his mouth like a baby bird anticipating the next milliliter of pure heaven.  This impressed me so much.  The things we take for granted are so numerous. I'm not really sure I know what else to say about it.  How simple is your life that you get that much pleasure from the taste of a cherry flavored beverage?  Sometimes I wish my life was that simple.
