MY HUSBAND JOHN
is my daily support--he takes care of all the day-to-day details so I can focus on pursuing my career. He supports me with love and his confidence in me. I love when I overhear him praising me to someone, the best compliment ever. If he were not around, the bed would stay unmade, the laundry never done, no beautifully cooked dinner on the table when I got home, and I would be very, very lonely. have been there for me my entire life. Through some major challenges, I have never felt alone, never judged, always loved. Because of the way they make me feel valued, I strive to make them proud of me. It hurts my heart when I see other people who do not receive this love from their parents. My mom and dad are getting older quickly and their friends are dying or becoming seriously ill all around them, putting the inevitable straight in my face every day. I dread the day I will lose either one of them. I read somewhere that parents prepare us for everything in life except how to get by without them, and this is all too real.MY BOSS always makes time for me. I have gone to her with requests, complaints, and suggestions, she listens and explains, or takes action. I could not continue to enjoy my job(which is my life) if it weren't for her. I go out of my way to make her job easier, and she in turn goes out of her way to help me when I ask for it. I could not be successful in school without her flexibility and genuine support. A CHALLENGE imagined and feared is disease. Many friends and family are experiencing breast or some other cancer, Parkinson's and MS. I see them struggling and worry that my husband, myself or my children will be next to be stricken. It all seems so random, not brought on by neglect or abuse to themselves, that the possibility of avoiding these illnesses is uncontrollable. With the supports I currently have, my life would be difficult but manageable. If I did not have these people in my life, I don't know how I would stay employed, get to doctor's appointments, eat properly, or stay positive.
