Always There

Being the youngest in my family I observed a lot. I watched my sisters to see what they did and what they got in trouble for and what they didn't to see what I could get a away with. I watched my mom who was always the stable one. The one that was always there to talk and love on you and go over something in very big detail if you wanted. She listened, and listening has to be one of the biggest things someone could do. I watched my dad often. He was my idol, hero, inspiration, etc... I watched how he took control of his business. How dealt with people in general from business, to strangers, to family. i watched how he handled himself, how he dressed, walked, acted in front of different groups. I watched everything because I wanted to be just like him. I do almost everything how he did it but with a little of my own style. But the thing I noticed I have been doing very often right now that he always did and what I loved about him was that he was someone that was always there for people. If you were ever in doubt, trouble, sad, concerned, whatever it may be he was always the first person someone would call to help them because they knew he would be there in a second and knew he would take care of the problem. It is one of the hardest and most stressful roles to take on. It can feel like you are caring weights on your shoulders all the time. You most the time don't get anything back from anyone or anything when you do it. Sometimes you get a card or a nice message from someone and then other times you don't even get a thank you or I appreciate it. But if you are strong enough to take that role and willing it is not even about that. It is about being there for the people you care about at no cost and at anytime. Because a lot of people don't have that in their lives. A lot of people don't have but one person that they know that they can call at anytime of any hour that will be there for them in a second whether it be to just talk or to go pick them up from somewhere a couple hours away. But if you don't set yourself up for disappointment by taking on that role, then it can be an amazing feeling to know that that person that you care about and love will always have someone to go to when in need for anything. That is something very rare and special to come across in life.
