My Heart Hurts

reed has a urinary tract infection and his back and shoulders have really been hurting him for the last couple days. he's constantly in pain and i can tell, but when i ask how he's doing, he always says, "i'm ok, don't worry" and then puts on a smile. that's the great thing about reed. nothing ever seems to go his way and let's face it: he doesn't live the life most of us would want to have. but, regardless of his situation, he is always happy and he wants others to be happy. even with all of his pain, he still manages to joke around with me and talk to me and he even asks how i'm feeling. i wish i could take away his pain. my heart hurts for him.
