From all the battles in your life, I want you to remember that one person that was there with you in the backstage

maybe that person was very obvious, like your spouse, or maybe was a mentor or a girl that you would talk to at some bakery.

Just remember that person and write a few words about them. They were your backup but, perhaps unseen.

My lovely husband. He was solid and steady. Absolutely dependable and always loving no matter what challenges we faced. He would hold me accountable for the times I messed up and wouldn't let me try to control situations. He taught me to be spontaneous and made me value adventure. He was a great dad too. I absolutely struck gold when we met. I miss him every day. Rest in peace darling xx

@PatientlyWaiting25 heartfelt, and so tender and beautiful, thank you for sharing. May you be blessed with all the fruits of his labour and you go on with creating life 🌸

In every battle I’ve faced, one person has consistently been my silent supporter and since she’s passed on, I like to think of her as my guardian angel .They were never in the spotlight, but their guidance was my anchor. With a few words of encouragement or simply a listening ear, she helped me navigate the rough waters. Their belief in me often overshadowed my doubts and I am forever grateful for their unwavering presence, even when it went unseen. She will always be in my heart and thoughts. I dearly loved her as so.
I know your out there somewhere and still watching over me 🌹🤗❤

@Yourbeau that's a sweet description. Yes exactly what I was thinking whilst making this post, the silent anchors.. the unseen..

@Boeing Thanks 🙏🏻
And yours ? Do you or have you someone such as that ?

@Yourbeau plenty but I will refer to the two that are in my mind right now.
One was a black Jamaican guy in his 50s I have met this summer, he was just there around me, whilst I was experiencing some weird hellish in my mind. He just helped me discern thoughts and see patterns, weeding out the unnecessary.

And when I was a teenage, there was this 34 year old woman, very short, very curvy with frizzy long hair and a loud genuine laughter. She took me out to coffee few times and she would do something similar I described in the first occasion, with that man, this summer.

You're right, and it's always been true.

Everytime I've gone too far, broken every promise & every rule, shocked and hurt everyone around me, reached my limit and failed all hope, I knew there would always be that one person who would never give up and would always be there ...

With pepper spray, backup, a warrant, and handcuffs.

Thank you sir.

Sorry about the cuts & bruises ✌

He has been behind me for 60 years.

Never judging. Never running away. Always willing to be there. Never questioning that which I could not or would not wish to answer

@QCDog2659 what a blessing to have that mortal angel, backing you up aaaallll the way <3

QCDog2659 · 61-69, M

@Boeing I would be a much different man had I never met him

@QCDog2659 it sounds like it..

Ghostinthemachine · M

I try to be cognizant of all those that have helped along the way

Boeing · 36-40

@Ghostinthemachine yes me too. But there are few of them that I haven't even noticed at the moment then looking back, with my new eyes, I can see them hovering at the back, like angels

Ghostinthemachine · M

@Boeing Yes, my parents for one. Especially being a parent now, I see how much they did in order for me to have the happy childhood I remember

@Ghostinthemachine thank you for this reply. I believe caring for one's children is reciprocal too, in the sense that you receive back plenty of joy, as kids are... Then certainly there're sacrifices to be made.

Nobody. I did it all alone.

@unsociableAnthony mmmaybe there is a passenger hidden in the corridors of your memory, somewhere...

Monalisasmith86 · 36-40, F

What if I never noticed them

Boeing · 36-40

@Monalisasmith86 you can try to see back through the prism now, once again. We certainly forget people. I'm sure I have forgotten some, especially some who appear for few seconds, godspeed and then disappear.
