My Support

Support comes in different forms for me.  I have the support of my two children who keep me going on a daily base.  The Mom I need this, and where is this, shows that they need me, but the love that they give me in return is priceless!   They help me to keep the house clean and when I need help with my homework they are there for me.  Where my weakness is they have strength and where they need help I give them strength.  When we are working out we push each other to keep going.  We give each other positive reinforcement every day, and grow stronger every day.  Sharing what happens in our daily lives helps us to be more informed and when we need our horizon broaden we do that, but sharing our experiences.  We really have each other’s back. I do not think that I would be able to function without having my children in my life to enrich it.

If had to take in someone’s baby.  If for some reason someone could not take care of their child for a while, I would take in that child.  The changes that would have to take place our home and life would be huge.  This topic comes up all the time with my family.  Why don’t you adopt a baby?  For fleeting moments it sounds like a great ideal.  Then reality kicks in.  I would have to purchase so many things- car seats, baby bed, clothing, and toys.  I would certainly need financial help.  Then my children would need help- emotional help.  I would have to share my time with a little one that would require a lot of love and time.  Help in watching the baby when I need to go somewhere.   My children would need to be here to help with feeding and taking care of a baby.  It would be a chance to give support to someone else and a chance to grow in love.  Homework would be a killer or I would have to put school on hold for a while. 

For me support is showing love.  It is meeting the needs of another person.  When all my strength is gone I can call on my support to hold me up or just let e lay for a minute and then pick me up to move on.
