I am blessed to have many supports in my life and without these supports my life would be very different and difficult. My parents and my husband are the strongest supports that I have in my life. They support me emotionally, physically, and mentally in many ways. My mother has a very kindly heart. I consider her my best friend as an adult. She listens to all the ups and downs of my daily life. She helps me and supports me a lot with my kids. I count a lot on her to watch the kids while I am not available and to help me sometimes with simple tasks like making dinner for us if I am too busy or also taking my kids to their after school activities. My dad is one of the most important persons in my life; I look to him when needing advice about anything that happens in my life. My husband is a great support and without him I couldn’t do what I am doing now. His support is evident in our home and my professional life. He helped me a lot with our kids when I was working and without his support I would not have been able to return to graduate school. I have a positive relationship with my sister; she is very caring, supportive, and someone to look up too. She is a great listener, and always makes me feel that she is always there for me. She is very honest, she tells me when I am doing something wrong and gives me advices on how to solve my problems. My two kids are the center of my life. They fill my life with love, ambition, and fun.
I can’t imagine my life without any of these supports. No one can replace my mother or father’s role in my life, they are my primary emotional supports, I love them so much and I believe that my life would be very tough without any one of them. I also can’t imagine my life without my husband or being a single mom raising my two kids without him, he is everything to me and to my kids, he is my lover, my best friend, my emotional, mental, and financial support. Without him my life would be really depressing and tough. Without him I have to depend on myself to be able to meet my all my children's needs including the financial and the emotional needs.
Thanks for sharing. My mother, just like yours, is steadfast in my life and helps me tremendously by living just around the corner. Without her my life would be topsy turvy in so many aspects. She keeps me grounded and her wisdom is something I can always rely on, whether I want it or not.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your suports, Bouthaina. Your supports are similar to mine. I am very close to my mother too. We talk almost everyday. She helps me cope with family and work problems. She encourages me. Family is very important. It makes me think about the children who do not have mothers or families due to abandonment. Lack of family has a signficant impact on social and emotional development. I can't imagine not having my mother for support.
