What are you carrying for somebody else at the moment?

A member here messaged to ask if I was all right because my journal had gone quiet. I had not realised anyone would notice.

The practice nurse who ran the bloods rather than telling me to take a supplement.

My neighbour walked the dog while I was in hospital and would not take anything for it.

My daughter, who asked how I was and then actually waited for the answer.

My sister, who has said nothing about any of it and I have decided that is her being kind.

My mother-in-law, who has strong opinions and delivered them at dinner again.

The pharmacist who caught something on my prescription and stopped me. I think about that moment most weeks.

A colleague covered for me on a bad day and never mentioned it again.

Somebody in this circle replied to my first post within an hour. They will not remember. I do.

My dad rang, which he does not do, and asked one good question.

The facilitator who stopped a room of six people talking at once and asked me how I actually was.

My daughter, who asked how I was and then actually waited for the answer.
