On a work trip, my kids ended up in the hospital while I had a stomach bug. It proved I'm stronger than I thought.

While I was away on a recent business trip with both of my children, I found myself in a position that I would wish upon no one. My six-year-old daughter and fourteen-month-old son both ended up in the hospital with a stomach bug. And to make matters worse, I got sick too. It was far from the trip I had imagined for us, but we got through it and it taught me — and my kids — that we can handle the hard stuff.
