I’m learning that there are some situations where all I can do, is just be there for someone.
There are no words that I can say that will change anything.
There are no words I can say that will ease the pain.
It breaks my heart because I’m a fixer.
I always want to fix people’s problems.
I’m learning that I’m not able to fix everything.
No matter how bad I want to.
I can’t mend broken hearts.
I can’t heal rare diseases.
I can’t change the past.
And I can’t see the future.
But there are things I can do.
I can answer the phone when you call.
I can listen when you just need an ear.
I can give you a hug, if that will make you feel better…
If even for just a second.
I can come visit and try to get your mind of the pain.
And I know that in your eyes it’s enough.
Just being there.
But it doesn’t change the fact that I wish it was more.
If I had three wishes, they wouldn’t be wasted on money or things.
While that would be nice-
I’d rather wish for things with a little more meaning.
Never-ending love
Cures for rare diseases
And the ability to spend more time with friends.
Those would be my wishes.
I hope someday I find that genie in a bottle.
Until then, all I can do, is be me.
And be there for you.
