It’s interesting how life works.
When you’re born, you are completely dependant on those around you. Eating, drinking, talking, walking…. It’s impossible to accomplish those tasks without assistance and guidance. The next few years are filled with absorbing. You’re a sponge; a young impressionable being that is impressed by the world.
As you grow older you have the belief that you’ve got it, you know everything there is to possibly know, and you yearn for others to recognize your
Independence. You stumble, you trip, and you fall… But you don’t need that helping hand forever, not like you did as a child. You’re an adult now… And “you’ve got this”.
As we age, we resort back to that dependency we had as children. Self-care is no longer our forte, but a task that becomes daunting. Others are needed to step in to help us. We become reliant, often times reluctantly, on those we cared for while they were young.
I’ll be that person for you Nana… I’ve got this.
