When I think of the support I get from others, it's easy for me to tell where I get it from. I get all of my support through God either directly or indirectly. God supports me directly through my praying and going to church and believing in him. I've been through a lot in my life from dealing with cancer to having back and knee surgeries. I still go to doctors for all three of these things but God is bringing me through them. God supports me indirectly through my children, my friends, and other family members. My children help me in ways the world may never know. They are there to take me to the doctors and to church. My daugher is up with me at night when I'm hurting and can't fuction on my own. They help me with bills and food and they carry me. My friends and family are always there to talk with me about what is going on in my life and give me advice. My Bible is my biggest support system. When I need a friend to talk with and no one is available, I just read my Bible or recite a Bible verse to help carry me through.

As I sit and think about the relationships I have in my life, the relationship with my grandchildren comes to mind. I think it comes to mind because we are so close and we spend a lot of our time together. We enjoy watching sports especially wrestling. My daughter is away a lot with the military, which allows time for two of my grandchildren and I to spend a large amount of time together to help create a loving and caring relationship. I also visit my son and his wife quite often so I get to spend time with other grandchildren. We go shopping, to the doctor, visit family and friends, and to church. I think our relationship is the way it is because of how well we communicate with each other. We tell the other exactly what we like or don't like, what we want and what we don't want, and we even tell each other what we expect from the other. They tell me how they feel about things and in return we work to change any negative feelings they may have. I love our relationship and wouldn't trade it for anything in the world. I have a close knit family and we spend a lot of time together. I love my family because they are always ther for me when I need them. I have been down and unable to do anything for myself but my relationship with my family allowed them to be there for me in ways I could possibly imagine. I love my son, my daughter, his wife, and my grandchildren.
