It is not easy to see someone that you love go through a hardship. Just how it is not easy to resist eating a piece of chocolate cake that's been sitting on the counter staring at you for the past few days. The cake comment may make this seem like a semi-serious blog post, and that was the goal.
It is not easy to get up an hour before you need to just so that you can exercise.
It is not easy to go to work when you feel like your head is going to explode and your body aches with every step.
It is not easy to help someone that you have always seen as an enemy.
It is not easy to face your mistakes.
It is not easy to look at yourself in the mirror and not find flaws.
It is not easy to feel helpless... to feel like there is nothing you can do to comfort someone. It is so difficult to look them in the eye and know that you don't have much to offer. It is not easy to come up with the right words to say. There's not much you can do; except to love them. It may seem like it's not much, but I think it is just enough so that as you work through the hardship together, you'll learn how to comfort them; how to speak the right words that will make them feel better.
When you feel like there's not much to give, give love. That's something they will always need.
Well said Taylor!!!! All you need is to show your love for the person with the hardship!!! You can't fix anyone's problems, but you can show how much you love and care for them!!!
