MY SUPPORT!


My Support!!!

My support system includes my husband, children, mom and dad, and family. My husband is my biggest and greatest support. He has always been here for me. He knows the moment when I feel overwhelmed and discouraged and sometimes before I can say anything he would send me a positive message through email or text. He would send flowers with a motivational message or leave an inspiring letter or note for me to read. These things put a smile on my face and keep me going. I am the type of mother and wife that does everything around the house and outside the home. When he sees that I have a lot on my plate he takes over. He will prepare dinner and get the kids ready for bed, run errands, and more. He is also there for me emotionally and mentally he helps keep my spirit high and we pray together. My children are supportive as well. My oldest is 11 years old and she will do extra stuff around the house, help with dinner, and entertain her little brother and sister. All three of them will give hugs and kisses and tell me they love me throughout the day which is all I need to put a smile on my face and keep me going. My mother was a great support before she passed. She would keep the kids cook dinner and invite us over. Hang out with me and call just to talk and we would counsel each other.  Remembering our great conversations and her positive words see me through tough times and knowing that strong bond and love always put a smile on my face. My dad supports me too. He gives me words of encouragement and he is there for me whenever I need him. I love my dad and he always knows the right thing to say. My family is very close so they will support you anyway they can. I realize that having that support really help life run a little smoother and without it, it can make life a little more stressful. Appreciate the support that you get whether it is a kind word, a smile, a hug, a gesture, etc. I know I do.
