Just a couple of more thoughts on this topic. I was thinking this afternoon back to a time when someone else carried my load for a while. There was a time at the worst of my addictions when someone else carried my load. Perhaps there are times when we all carry the load for someone else. This is probably even healthy when it is reciperocal. For a couple, even for friends there are going to be times when one is the stronger. Hopefully when the other is going through a time of difficulty the one who was carried will do the carrying.
Maybe that is what love, caring and friendship is about. As A 70 Something Woman there will no doubt come a time when the child I cared for will care for me. I would like to think that they will do it with the love and care that I felt for them. The giving and receiving, the rhythm of life. Tired now, I just knew I had to work this through a bit more. Perhaps I am not finished yet, but I am for tonight.
