Your Help Is Needed

Life can be hard. Here you are all grown up. You've earned your degree, you have a decent job, you've got your place, you have your circle of friends, you get invited to functions and socials; but you're lonely. You come home to an empty house, condo or apartment. You cook single serving meals or buy takeouts. Or on the other hand, you come home to a house with children. You try to manage homework, preparing dinner and quality family time. Once the house settles, you are all alone. You sit on the side of your bed, kick off your work shoes. Slowly undress and unwind from the busy day. You think to yourself, where is my help? It is hard doing all of these tasks day in and day out. You've got so many to do lists and things seem to never get done. Where is he? Where is she, for those custodial fathers? Where is your help? Why hasn't he or she participated in your daily or weekly activities at least once or twice a week? Relationship is being there for the other person. Relationship is helping the other person when you can and where you can. Relationship is caring, assisting and doing. Relationship is "I want to help you or here let me do that." Relationship is sharing your time, your resources and your love for the betterment of another. Relationship is "Baby I Got Your Back" and You Can Count On Me". If You Love Me - Relationship says that you will and you can.

  1. True, True is the first thing that came to my mind. Even if you have a man sometimes you have reiterate this to them over and over. Please do not think for a second that when you do find your man the struggle is over. In a way a new one starts, that's where you are so right MaRae it Takes Two.
