🎶 I Needed You And You Where There..🎶

Although, I make no judgments on anyone.
I'm kind of sad when I see women saying "I Don't Need No Man", because my sister,who is independent,cable, and strong desperately wants her man.
She's being denied this strong supply of strength,help, and companionship due to the cancer that is killing him.

Perhaps,we don't need our men, but we want them.
We cherish their companionship and yes, their strength.

Old age, physical set backs, and impending death rob us of our strong men and we must either help shoulder the load, do without the help we once relied on, or find other solutions.
And we will find a way, because we have to.

Perhaps ,we chose to need
them,because that's love,that's respect, and don't we all want to be needed?

Will we really say at the end of our lives we're glad nobody needed us?
We are glad we're going to die and as we lived,alone?
I'm so happy I was never able to help anybody else?

I don't know?
But as I see my sister struggles
I'm not ever going to say that "I don't need my man"
Instead, I'll try to thank God for him, appreciate him, love him, and choose to need him.

Sure, I'm an independent woman in a lot of ways...

I've had to be strong enough to silently take an adult man beating me from the age of 8... and through a myriad of abusive relationships.

The truth is that I still need my man, I still need the calm place from time to time. Someone who doesn't mind pulling me close for a hug that I didn't know that I needed.

It doesn't make me any less independent to have these scars that I can only heal with love in a safe place that I don't have anywhere else.

@HootyTheNightOwl So glad you found a good man.
My sister was in a bad marriage and then she found her current boyfriend.💔

The most important lessons are so often learned at the most tragic of times.

@OlderSometimesWiser That is sad,yet so true.

But most who say they don’t need one, don’t have one, it’s mostly a coping mechanism. Or someone who has an awful man that they need to leave.

I don’t know anyone saying that with a man they love and cherish. It’s just too easy for him to be gone. My thoughts are with you and your sister. 🫂

Family love to me, is just as valuable as any other type of love... And can be just as fulfilling and rewarding.

Hurt makes people say all kinds of things and react differently to each situation.

My own opinion is to become bitter and unkind to the point of hurting or driving away others, because we don't need anybody,is very sad indeed.
In the end we end up hurting ourselves in the process.
