For someone who has always felt alone in my responsibilities, never having anyone else to rely on, it’s not easy for me to see the help around me. But it’s there. There’s not a single soul on this team or staff who wouldn’t go out of their way for me or my son. I tend to wallow in self-pity, telling myself I’m alone in this, but I’m not. I nod. “Sometimes I forget to look.” “Well, you spent a lot of years looking and coming up empty, so I don’t blame you, but that’s not the case anymore.”
