I was recently in a situation where I needed to be there for someone, not in the traditional sense, but in other ways.. Pick up the responsibilities so they could breathe for a minute. I love this person and did it without a second thought. The timing though wasn’t idea and I was already exhausted. I used to be able to watch the sun rise every morning, then schedules changed and daylight savings started and I missed most of them. Until a few days ago. Because if this person, I got to watch some of the most amazing sunrises I have seen… Reminding me that everything happens for a reason. Watching the sun rise lets me remember that ever single morning I wake up is a blessing and I shouldn’t waste it. I got a breathtaking, never-repeated painting for 30 minutes… Personally made, just for me. The pictures I took don’t do it justice… But usually pictures don’t. Circumstances, though they may seem not ideal at the moment…. Are always for a reason. I needed a reminder that not only is it ok to breathe, but be grateful that I get that opportunity, and don’t take one second for granted. I know this person was having a hard time… But I hope they know that everything was done with perfect timing and I needed those early mornings, just as much as they needed to step away for a minute. They are one of my heroes, pushing along when everything seems like it would be better to give up. They are someone I pull inspiration from and remind myself, if they can do it, so can I.
I truly hope you know how appreciated and important you are and should the opportunity arise… I will gladly watch a sunrise, any day, for you.
