Day in and day out, we meet people who may never impact our lives. But if you are lucky, you meet people who are so completely selfless, caring and loving who impact you in ways you never thought imaginable.It doesn’t happen every day and for some it never happens at all.
Having gone through an exhausting three months, I have been reminded that selfless people do exist. I use to think I was alone, trying to ensure everyone around me was content. But I realized, I am not the only one who cares. I always thought I wasn’t meant to meet individuals like this, but my weekend at the casino made me realize how lucky I have been as of late.
Not too many realize how stress can impact me, even more have less of an idea on how much takes a toll on me. The hardest thing to do is let people care, let them ask the simple questions and ask:
“Everything ok, do you want to go for a walk”
“Lets sit and chat, get your mind off things”
“Lets go for a drive, we don’t have to talk…it will help clear your head”
“Bucks? It will help.”
As I sat, day in and day out, frustrated and caught in the crossfire, these little things kept my sane. Keeping me grounded and reminding me time and time again that I was going to be ok. This isn’t an easy feat for those around someone that is so hard-headed but I don’t think these individuals have any idea how thank I have been for their support.
Knowing your role will help you stay ground and remind you that even though you may feel abandoned, you’re not.
We crumble when we have no support; we stay strong with the support that holds us up.
