Our sister’s keeper

July 11, 2012

There was a time in my life

when I spent a lot of time helping someone

I cared a great deal about.

“I think she’s taking advantage of you,”

my partner at the time said to me.

(It was an unusual comment for him

so I knew he felt strongly about it.)

I didn’t see it that way.

I believe that if we have the opportunity

to do something to help another,

we should always take it,

even if they are unable to — or do not– repay us.

Just one of those little life lessons I picked up along the way.

It’s stood the test of time, too, I’m happy to say.
