My Supports

Support to me is having a team of people who care about you and are there for you no matter the circumstance. Supports is also the things that you can depend on to get you through your day, your life, situations and your finances. When I think about my life on a  daily basis, I realize that I have a lot of supports and grateful for my supports because I cannot do everything on my own. 

My husband is a great support to me. He helps me with everything. I can depend on him for whatever I need. In the mornings when I am rushing out the door to work, he always remembers something I may have forgotten or just hands me money for whatever I may need. He also supports me financially even though I am working, he still blesses me beyond what I could ask for. He also supports me now being in school. He encourages me and motivates me especially when I feel overwhelmed. My husband supports me while trying to live a healthy lifestyle, he encourages me to eat healthy and to exercise! He is awesome and honestly without him I don't think I would feel as strong as I do now. 

My parents are also a support to me. They have always been there for me and still are. Whenever I go visit them, my mother never hesitates to send me home with something  she still allows me to go shopping in her pantry! My parents provide me spiritual support by constant praying for me and they still encourage me to achieve my dreams!

Some of my physical supports are my car and phone. I don't know what I would  without them. I write everything in my phone. I keep appointments, meetings, memos etc. in my phone. I use my phone to connect with people and use it also for my assignments when I cannot access a computer. My car gets me everywhere. I remember how hard it used to be getting around without a car. Now I cant do without it and especially where I live now public transportation is scarce so I really need my car for support. 

I imagined myself without legs which would be a great challenge. I would want and need so many supports. I would need a wheelchair or walker or replacement legs to get around. I would still need the support of my husband and family to get me around since I may not be able to drive anymore. I would need the emotional and physical support of my family. I realize  how much I do use my legs and how challenging it would be without them. I would miss the freedom of getting up and getting around on my own without relying on someone or something.
