Having lived on my own for many years I have learned to be pretty self sufficient. Things that I used to rely on my brothers or dad to do I now tackle on my own. Setting up electronics can be done – even if it takes me 3 trips to the store to buy all the correct cables. Checking air pressure in the tires and the oil level are now common place and I top each up as required. Comes with having an almost 10yo car.
That being said, I still appreciate the help of others and it’s not uncommon for something others feel is ‘small’, to bring tears to my eyes. While I enjoy my independence I’m still a girl who appreciates the little things too. Lately a number of those things have come my way and I am so thankful!!
Earlier in the spring Hannah and I invited friends over for a games day. They showed up with a sweet bouquet of flowers! Yup, I teared up.
Shortly after that I went to their place for a get together and as I parked the car 3 of the guys came out and set to work. Mark carried our suitcase into the house as Hannah and I were staying with their family that night. Joel and Shawn proceeded to ask me to pop the hood of my car and checked the air filters.
Later that same week my co-worker Cory brought a bin of dirt to work for me to fill the garden buckets he helped Hannah make last spring. (Still need to post about those!)
I am so thankful for all of these guys and many more who are there for me and willing to help out!
