I love making people feel better. Collin wasn't feeling well tonight {stomachache and headache} and I pounced on the opportunity to fix him all better. I took care of his stuff, drove him home, walked him into his apartment {woulda carried him if I could and that wasn't weird}, sent him to bed, and started on his dinner for tomorrow {he was all worried about marinating the chicken. Took care of it!}. That doesn't sound like much but I was so prepared and willing to do more! If he had gotten sick I would have been right there to help him out. Last semester Kyla got really sick and I loved playing nurse. I got her water, put her in bed, took care of her stuff for her. Loved it. I so was ready to do that for Collin.
I love taking care of the people I love. :)
I just remember my mommy pulling back my hair for me when I was sick and getting me water to rinse out my mouth when I was little. I even remember her bringing in a blanket and pillow for me to sleep on the bathroom floor with when I had stomach flu. She's not the most affectionate person so that always meant the world to me. I love doing that for other people.
That and I'm a really sympathetic person and can't sit still when other people aren't feeling well. I have to help. Especially because I always seem to have some physical ailment {usually headaches. why do I always get headaches?!} and it makes me feel like I'm making up for complaining so much.
