“MY SUPPORTS”

I would have to describe my factors within my daily environment that are supportive to me; and the benefit these support.

I would have to start with my husband, Rich. He is my Number One Support. I would have to say every day he tells me how proud of me he is; and he has been the number one supporter of me continuing my education. Richie has been the one to help me understand that I can do it. He has told me on several occasions to breathe and I can make it and that twenty four months is not really that long. The benefit I see as having Richie be a supporter for me is that without him I might have given up on school. He is such a big impact on my life. He has helped guide me and listen to my complaining as well as my successes.

The second supporter I have to support me is my co-worker and friend, Kim. Kim helps me on a daily basis. She is there as I get stressed over work, as well as being there for me in my personal life. We have become very close over this last year. She has taken on the role of “little sis”. Without her support and guidance my job would be more stressful. We do things in our personal life together as well. She and I have taken trips together; just mini vacations. When we are together we laugh and laugh. Having someone I can be this close with is a great asset to my life.

Without the support how would I exist…..hummmm I began to think about this as I was writing what supports they are to me, and I began to tear up. The thought of having to face daily life without my husband and best friend made my heart ache. The thought of waking up to the other side of my bed cold broke my heart. The thought of going to work and not seeing Kim was just as bad. Taking my steps in life without them beside me was terrible to say the least. I just hope and pray that I will never have to find out. I know that one day it is conceivable that my husband may die; or my best friend moves away. I will hope I do not become depressed. I know that this will surly happen. If something like this does happen I know I will need to seek help. I know life does not end with the closing of one door. I just pray that I never will have to experience that closing.

My daily life is better because of these two people. I wake to my husband’s voice every morning. He leaves early in the morning but will always kiss me before he leaves. My life has been so impacted because of him. He is my rock, my foundation. My husband is my best friend, my lover, my everything.

My friend Kim, she supports me, and shows me that I don’t need to be serious all the time. Laughter helps the sole. I laugh so hard when I am with her I cry. I cannot image my world without her. We are always talking or texting. We are always together. Everyone at work laughs when they see one without the other. They want to know where our side kick is.

With these two people in my life there will be nothing but benefits.
