There's nothing worse when you're ill. When my boyfriend is feeling sick, I try to make a special effort to make him feel extra special and extra loved.

When he was a child, his mother always prepared him hot vanilla chocolate for his tummy. It's definitely one of his sedative foods. So whenever he's feeling sick, I always prepare him a big cup of hot vanilla chocolate and buy animal crackers, another comfort food from his childhood.

The first time when I did this for him, he was extremely touched and surprised that I remember what he has told me about his childhood.

It is always good to be "nursed" when you're sick, and it's something that I don't often for him. But if I do this, I cook him chicken soup, rent him movies, and make him massage...anything he desires. And I know he'll do the same for me when I feel under the weather!
